Event:2017/11/13 Basement Kitchen Meeting

Omni Commons Kitchen Fundraising Meeting - Monday, Nov 13, 2017 @ 7pm

= attendees =
 * jenny, robb, marcus, gerald, joe, phil

= timeline =
 * We don't have the time to launch
 * Can have a big fundraiser mid-stream
 * Can set up our own crowdfunding portal - skirts the fees/perks, but lose the eyeballs
 * Could set up a smaller goal on say, IndieGoGo to grab those eyeballs
 * maybe we should launch the indiegogo with just the video & text
 * julian, grant jenny, robb
 * scratch launch party
 * try to plan a party toward the end of the campaign (6 months out)
 * in the dirt stuff - plumbing, drain, etc - write updates "every time we take a whiz" on our own crowdfunding portal
 * david k will have more spoons soon to help with quotes / contacts / etc
 * Marcus: launch different campaigns for different phases, put all of those campaigns on the umbrella site
 * Backwater Prevention / Ground Drain - joe sez we can use a bright day to see where it's coming through.
 * Robb: Drain sufficiently drained all of the hot water heater water

= budget =
 * currently around $45K, probably will need to up to ~$60K
 * getting close to pulling the max on our electrical - do we have enough juice for dedicated circuits in the kitchen?
 * only using 11 kilowatt hours (out of 22), so yes
 * gerald: panel outside that could use an upgrade.
 * need to get quotes for floor sink [joe], mop sink [joe], and windows [robb]
 * does this include permit fees? - jenny added 3 x $275 = $825

= action items =
 * quotes for floor sink [joe], mop sink [joe], and windows [robb]
 * organize a campaign text / strategy session [jenny]
 * ask for opinion about splitting the fundraising between 2 sites from our IndieGoGo contact, or about splitting it up into phases - jenny
 * joe will ask his plumber friend to take a look at the backwater prevention valve
 * maybe also the ground
 * rats - put onions all around? - never mind, cockroaches
 * git floor plan - jenny
