**Incomplete Notes (obviously)**

==Gave updates on building progress==
  * Electrician coming
  * Door access partially complete
  * Still need general ventilation
  * Still need site-specific ventilation for welding and blacksmithing
  * Still need a screen for welding

==Discussed Grand Opening==

  * Would be good to have a more polished introduction to the space
  * Invite local businesses and officials
  * make a splash
  * we need to be sure we are polished
  * we should have events and classes to sign up for
  * we should have examples of products people have made
  * woodshop should be complete with wall and dust collection
  * sewing area should be set up
  * good signage everywhere
  * sponsor wall 

Ultimate decision - no rush to do this. Maybe target early spring?

==City Grant==
  * Received $1000
  * Unfortunately, we did not receive enough to upgrade the woodshop, even partially.
  * We need to decide if if the restrictions and reporting requirements, not to mention city-exclusive sponsorship, are worth accepting the money.
