Officer reports

President

Carpeting – The carpet squares that Derek found averages to about $.39 per sqft. The rolls that Joe B. found at Hood's is about $.44 per sqft. The more expensive stuff is of higher quality and the President is of the opinion its worth the expense. Currently we have about $100 donated for the carpet. If anyone wants to donate then see the President or the Treasurer.

Labcoats – Fittings are done for about 8 people so far. If anyone else wants a a labcoat, see Deech after the meeting for measurements and what materials you will need.

Open House – We might be able to get the famous POV Orb that has made the rounds to various maker events.

Fridge – At the moment lets just keep the fridge stocked. Either bring a case of soda or something to keep the fridge stocked, or donate money to keep it stocked.
