- Rockwall Makerspace
- Do we want to help them out or offer to combine?
- James says he has a decent amount of cash invested into the rockwall makerspace, so it may be hard to absorb
- Should we have an umbrella organization?
- What does Rockwall need? Scott Birdsong
- Does he want our help?
- What level of control / sharing would we all envision?
- umbrella org that has 2 sub-orgs (rockwall and carrolton)
- basically they need our money...
- What do we get out of it?
- We could drive people to them...
- Percentage of membership?
- Do we know their current membership... about qty 100'ish previously...
- Can we give them a small grant to get them back on their feet?
- Grant ... $10k'ish... so our members can get a discount there
- Can we combine? (our members can go there?)
- The issue with that is that Scott has purchased the tools
- Infrastructure issues? (badge management, access controls, etc)
- Option: Review membership information for people near Rockwall
- consider mapping our members by address?
- Legal ...
- We probably need a new lawyer at some point
- Current lawyer has issues in personal life and it's hard

- Plumber on the roof
- Atmos may want a plumber available when Atmos is inspecting
- Plumber said just call him if that happens (not sure who)
- Jay will likely be here to cover until Julie can make it back
