Minutes: Meeting 4

Location: Baghdad Cafe (16th and Market)
Members Present: Zach, Beth, Ben, Pat, Chris, Katie, Rob
Called to Order: 8:30pm

I. Discussed various corporation options. Anonymously voted to form an LLC and organize as a coop. The LLC paperwork will be filled out when we have a name.

II. Discussed names. Voted ideas are as follows:
Collab (1)
Box (5)
Box AND 21 (4)
Collab AND 21 (2)
Shadowbox AND 21 (2)

Ultimately, we decided to use the work “box” in any of its forms. We decided to continue brainstorming on our own, and meet on Saturday to finalize.

III. We decided to skip board and rules for now. We will pick up discussion when we have a company.

IV. Fundraising. Ideas were brainstormed, and three resolutions were decided on. These are: (i) We will have regular fundraisers; (ii) Our first fundraiser will be a costume party with the theme “Procrastinators Halloween”, and; (iii) We will have a fundraiser where we have 21 designed goods or services for auction. The additional details will have to be discussed in a future meeting.

V. Meeting adjourned at 9:45pm
