Review of Secretary minutes and Treasury report Motion to accept – Accepted Old Business: Bylaws amendment for Quorum – It will be recalculated quarterly. Officers will meet with secretary to check attendance and calculate. Any disputes will be resolved by Officers meeting. Members who do do not attend an even or meeting but would like to vote, they have full voting rights. Quorum calculation does not affect voting rights. Silence as acquiescence. Dust collector system – being worked on, 2/3 done. Parts ordered. 3 pcs of pipe and 3 gates needed. Mike is donating 2 more Ys and 1 90 that have the gasket on them. In the back room now. Roger will call/pick up tomorrow, 5/14/25. Thank you to everyone for cleaning up after themselves after events. Please continue to remind and encourage other members to do the same. Ignite – Paying for 1 space, denote how much space we need for it. Jeep calculates 4 20x40s. Pinewood derby, tabletop games, out actual booth. Bill printing off gaming accessories and masks (cosplay) to show that we have the capacity to create those. Also Settlers of Catan. We will need more/new filament to cover making more fidget toys – they went over well at Engineering day. Please volunteer at least half day of not whole. Day before and day of help. There will be food and water! New Business: Shopping list –

1. We need a Prime membership because of our ordering over the last year. It is $139 annually. We order enough to justify. Heather will work with Charlie and Kevin on the wishlist for things RCL could use. Could post of social media periodically. Also consider a Prime credit card as a 501c3. That would pay for itself. Related: Passing along rep info for free membership for non-profit business Prime account No objection to purchasing account even if it's not free.

2. No objections to the items Heather listed included sewing clips

3. Many members do not have tags. Lanyards are 2.6/apiece. Want to order 100 lanyards in green. We need acrylic to make it. It is $196. That will give us enough to make for everyone and have extras. Purchase approved.

4. Don's list – power cord reels and drops for the woodshop. On Amazon it's $89 apiece. 1 needed, 2 preferred. We are good for buying 2 drop cords that are 12 3

5. 2 new machines were purchased for $200 before JoAnn went out of business. Heavy duty sewing machine and Serger.

In the last couple years we have sponsored Josh's St Jude run. We usually do $200, doing $350 this year, no objections heard. We need to put together thank you cards for the large donations. 16k is what we got, last year we had an anonymous 10k. Next week we will have it to sign and send. Rick's Chicken also. Idea: creat a donation wall. Based on each amount, you can get a piece of the wall dedicated to each donor. Update from Jay: Planning on covering all kitchen expenses. Please join #bakerspace so you can see that channel. Consolidate safety officer position – please consider having a safety officer as a formal member of the Officers board, absorbed by Facilities officer. Provide safety and training orientation. Would submit for PPE. Facilitate safety inspections, would require a response to incidents. Chemical disposal. Collaborate with current staff. Consider investing in AED and see if we can get one donated. They may also do a free CPR class. Consolidating other officer positions – 2 proposed that fold into other position. To streamline and reduce burden. Events Officer to roll into PR. Members Officer to roll into the president and VP. A proposal to amend the bylaws to fill officer positions is being reviewed. We have received substantial amount of donations. We as officers need to using the wishlist channel to start documenting those items with likes and comments to determine most requested items. That will give us time to use it and put together a proposal for November vote. Ventilation system for plasma cutting and welding - The cheap and quick version is to take the extra squirrel cage over paint booth and mount it sideways over the area and plug in as needed. Expensive and nicer, cleaner system is to buy an actual welding ventilation system. Current protocol is open door and turn on fan, which is efficient. Machine does not run enough to justify the higher system. It would otherwise cost 4k. We can also buy a new exhaust fan. Using the cheap fix for now, expensive item is
