Action items to be taken

IDSA will get their internal publicity ready for distribution this week. HIVE13 and MayWeHelp will provide info to IDSA for inclusion. We will distribute the information to our mailing list. And make announcements through our social media.

Food and beverage planning will proceed based on rsvp responses. Budget tbd.

I’ve put out the request for a loan of a second projector with the intent to project inside the meeting room and out on our drop down screen in the larger hall. We will need a way to split the HDMI signal out to both projectors Also plan to use our sound system.

HIVE13 waivers and wrist band process to be the same as we did for the open house.

Damn! I’ll be in St. Croix when this is happening! Sad to miss it. Thanks for helping make this happen, Dave Velzy.

May we help is great.
They made a foot securing/holding device for my paraplegic sister; it helps keep her feet in place on her wheel chair when she's having muscle spasms.
