There might be an unofficial Power Racing Series race in Pittsburgh. Also, everyone should plan to go to New York Maker Faire. We need to know mid July if we're getting a booth.
Preliminary date: October 26. Date is confirmed. Ben can offer a campsite for the nights before and after. There will be a bonfire afterparty. Rick will promote on Facebook.
People near Ben are getting serious about PRS. Ben wants volunteers to show them stuff this Thursday at 4pm. Ben wants people to talk to county fair people. Rick will go with Kung and Fubar1.
Jenny wants to do a t-shirt design competition. We will vote at the next member meeting on our favorite design and then screen print it on shirts at the event. We'll create a slack channel for the t-shirt ideas. Designs should be an SVG with one color.
Currently the barbecue is scheduled for noon.
We'll send out a most wanted photo list of things people want to cull at the cleanup day. This will give everyone an opportunity to speak up for stuff that people want to throw away.
Also, Rick is working on a one-year plan to improve visibility and momentum. 1st of May 2020 is our 10 year anniversary of having a space. Nearest weekend could be year end 10-year event.
