Floated discussion of 60” loom for in center rental until a later date.

Tabled discussion of replacing the computer for retail operations until needs and expense could be further refined.

Minutes from last meeting approved.

The next annual meeting date was discussed, and it was decided to be Sunday August 28th @ 1pm at the center.

It was decided that we would pay Amanda to do some ongoing graphic design work for the Center at a rate of $25 per hour, with a generally budget of 4 hours per month, with the possibility of more hours with approval.

Treasures verbal report that we had income of about $11856.45 including about $5000 in donations, about $46000 in the bank, and about $6000 to $8000 per month in expenses.

Dain brought up the idea of purchasing some equipment to offer silk screening as an additional process available to use for members and possibly community groups. Cost likely to be in the $1200 - $1800 range. The general concept was approved to proceed with more details.

Problems with the Thumper and needle felter were discussed including the need for repairs, and possible further training, certification, or supervision of users.

There was a brief discussion of the printer litigation which seems to be on hold again, and likely to stay that way.

The Dye Kitchen fan and range have been installed and are being used. There is a need for some written procedures to be created and posted for topics such as lighting the range. Debbie will purchase a fire extinguisher for the area.

We received some new dye donations.

Classes are filling up nicely.

Brief discussion of starting to look for an Executive Director including updating the position and possibly making it part-time for now. This will probably wait until the annual meeting.

We need more board members, and a request will go out to members.

Meeting ended about 5:15pm
