In attendance: Casey, Jackson (secretary), Ty (moderator), Wyatt (late)
Start time: 7:12 PM
1. Event Review – We held our Open House/200th Birthday Party for Marx on Saturday and it went really well. We had a ton of food, saw a lot of friends, and even introduced a couple of new people to our space. The timing may not have been ideal, with the yard sale the next week and it being UNL graduation day, so we may choose a different day the next time we use this format.
2. Upcoming Event – Yard sale fundraiser is this weekend! Jackson would prefer to get the street signs up on Thursday night, unless it looks like rain overnight. Jackson and Ty will continue pursuing leads on tables and donations with family and friends. Jackson will get ads up for it online.
