Open Discussion
Do we want to allow other groups (ie. the Gourd Group) to use our facilities for their regular/irregular meetings ? Do we wish to place any limitations on other organizations ? If we allow this, we will need to have an executable Agreement outlining the terms and conditions for any outside group using our facilities.
Brad - should have a Makersmiths member. Similar to Chess Club.
Jonathan - have had these in the past. Ok, but may need limitations (or elimination ) in the future.
Jen - must be an event and must be scheduled through Scheduling Committee. All our Bylaws and Standing Rules must be observed.
Erin - so - must have member and must go through Scheduling Committee. Will need a written agreement. Must sign waiver. Must observe Bylaws and Standing Rules.
Jonathan - Standing Rules committee will prepare text.
Jonathan - CO2 laser controls are installed and working.
