NOTE: I won't be there, so I'd appreciate it if someone could take
notes and put them on the wiki, or if you take notes in writing, give
them to me and I'll put them online later.
I got a call-back from Clyde Kober (the fellow with the Epilog laser
out in Delhi) just now. He will come tonight at 7:00 pm before the
meeting and will bring some laser stuff for an informal show-and-tell
during the meeting. It should be a good night! (sorry Dave!)
Take them to a coinstar machine and get a gift card to something -
either that the hive can use, or just sell it at face value to
somebody. Last time I went there were no fees for gift cards.
The gift card thing is probably the best idea, though the cash is of
course easier. Is there something on the profit points list that we
could benefit from putting the cash towards?
Yeah, well I use the funds from the jar to pay for the pizza each Tuesday and we do not have enough dollar bills in the can to pay for pizza this week (as of now), however if I wrap up a couple rolls of quarters I am sure I can fund it. I dropped off a small coin sorting machine so all I need to do is feed it and then wrap the result.
I am sure Coinstar would work great but I dont need gift certificates and i have no problem taking wrapped coins.
Ah! That would work! At least for the receipt I have. I have a
'gift card' for $27 and the profit points have some money towards a
subscription to Make but it wasn't enough. Using my gift card we
could go ahead and order that subscription. Great Idea!
I'll wait until we can talk about it at tonights meeting.
I get coin wrappers from 5/3rd for free all the time (otherwise I would not let them “require” that, when I give them a shit load of coins, they be rolled).
