While we were inspecting the SBWD site, the board informally discussed improvements we might make. Most of the investment will be in soap and paint to begin with. We may build or buy shelving. We may build workbenches and add lighting fixtures to the workbenches. The workbenches and shelving will be portable so, if we go elsewhere, the improvements travel with us.
Dale is going to build a cantenna so we can try to obtain Internet access from the RBHS office across the street. If that doesn't work, Mike has a parabolic dish antenna to try. If our attempts to piggyback on RBHS' wireless router fail, we will need to pay for our own Internet access.

Is FGM still gonna invest money in fixxing the SBWD building or are just gonna set it up as it is since were on a 6 month trial basis?--- On *Fri, 10/30/09, Tom Brown /<tbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: From: Tom Brown <tbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [frgeek-michiana] Re: Decision To: frgeek-michiana@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Friday, October 30, 2009, 1:10 PM The majority vote was to stay at SBWD for at least 6 months then review our situation.Goose will supervise the warehouse on Tuesday evenings; opening and closing times are up to him. The warehouse will be open next Tuesday. There will be no Thursday night sessions until we (me and the board) recruit a supervisor for Thursdays.Imre, Chuq and Phil’s retirements from warehouse work have hit us hard as has suspending the FreeBox program. Completing preparation for the move and finding and moving to a new warehouse have filled my time recently. There are several important tasks which need close attention (including completing the 501c3 application, finding a site partner for the computer lab, recruiting two more board members, recruiting more volunteers, planning a fund raising and marketing campaign and publishing the FGM Joomla site) so I won’t be supervising the warehouse for a while and that leaves us short handed.Fr. Robert, Mike and Chuq have FGMLUG running on a regular schedule and the web site is up so that project doesn’t need my full attention.I sent draft minutes of the board meeting to the board members to review and received additions and corrections from Mike. There hasn’t been time for me to make the edits and publish the minutes. This is why you haven’t heard about the warehouse decision and schedule.

Everything got moved faster then expected. All we have to do is vote to accept SBWD (or Langlab) and get busy! Goose Mike Cook wrote: > ps > Sorry I was a no show for the move. I have been sick since Wednesday night (much better now). I was pretty sure no one else wanted what I had plus I didn't think I could have contributed much. If we have anything else left out at Chippewa that will fit in my car I'm willing to make a run after the board meeting. -- Richard "Goose" Zimmerman, ke4rit Mishawaka , IN ** This list is PUBLICLY archived. ** PLEASE don't post personal or sensitive information unless you wish for it to be in the public domain.
