Makersmiths Holiday Ornament (Dubelko)

Problem: No clear item or budget exits for giving our sponsors a small token of appreciation over the holiday season.

Solution: Glass ornaments could be procured, individually laser etched with each sponsors logo and given as a gift. A stand could also be made to display the ornament. Roughly 36 ornaments could be procured for $1 each. The wood stand could be made for about $2 each. The total cost of supplies would be around $100. Also, more ornaments could be ordered by our sponsors for a donation of $5 each creating a possible fundraising opportunity. A “Made at Makersmiths” etching will be added to the back of each ornament. There are plans to offer classes on laser etching glass ornaments and these classes would be run similar to the pumpkin etching classes. 

Relevance to our tax exempt status: There is no impact to our tax exemption status. 

Motion: A motion to approve a not to exceed amount of $100 for the procurement of 36 glass holiday ornaments and stands to be given to our sponsors.

Royal Street WiFi (Todd "Tech-Rat")

Problem: WiFi will not handle large number of devices and is not most current standard.

Solution: Upgrade WiFi infrastructure to new hardware to support larger number of devices and give the space more flexibility in how the WiFi is setup.

Relevance to our tax exempt status: WiFi is important to all current members and future members. This new capability would allow us to have large classes with lots of users using WiFi at the same time. We could also offer different levels of access for different classes of members. EX: Full members get to use the 5G bands with out limits. Guests can only use the 2.4G band and get limited access. These APs support both 2.4/5G bands with upto 8 SSIDs per radio. APs use Power Over Ethernet and our existing Cisco switch will provide that power.

Motion: Purchase Ubiquiti UniFi AP-AC-PRo Access Point(s).  Based on coverage I am proposing we purchase 2 APs. One for the front half of the building and one for the back half of the building. Currently on Amazon for: $133.88 & FREE Shipping.
