      • Will be asking current recurring users if they will continue for next year
      • Will soon be sending out the rental rates for next year.
    • Membership and volunteer tracking
      • May see if we can use a system like CVG does.
    • Letter has been sent out to Anime Detour member who was banned, also banning from GPS premises and events.
    • Multiple “at” geekpartnership email accounts need password reset so we can get access. Ann has requested the reset, and after that we will record the passwords in an online password keeper
    • It was suggested that if we could have remote meetings, more people may be able to attend.  Several platforms were brought up. Rusty plans to write up what’s needed in order to do that, and then the Board will see about implementing.
  • Upcoming events. Volunteers always appreciated! Let us know at info@geekpartnership.org
    • Furry Migration: Sept 6-8.  Very low key party room and auction
    • Geeks Read Picnic: Sept 8.  All are welcome.
