8/2/21 Minutes: Upcoming Event, Reimbursement, Fall Calendar, YouTube

In Attendance: Jackson, Ty (moderator), Marcus (secretary), Wyatt
Start Time: 7:40 PM

Upcoming Event – The gardening day event on August 14 is all ready and set to go. The Facebook event is live and sharable, and Wyatt prepared a list of things attendees can do and learn about.

Reimbursement – We needed to renew the domain for our website, which cost $32.99. Jackson covered the cost of the renewal, and we unanimously voted to reimburse him for the full amount from the treasury.

Fall Calendar – Marc designed the calendar and handbills for our fall events. The designs were approved, and we’re ready to print and post them!

We also need to look over the list of businesses/etc. to distribute calendars, as some may have been pandemic casualties or don’t truly have public posting boards. Our previous posting list is in the minutes of November 4, 2019, from when we expanded said list. (Right before the pandemic, no less. Yeeeowch!)

We discussed adding a few new locations: Indigo Bridge’s new location, Transformations thrift store, F Street Community Church, Pepe’s, a new vegan Cajun food place, plus the other Mill locations and Cultiva East.

For now, we plan on printing 25 copies of both the large calendars and the handbills for distribution. At least one large calendar will go into the BCH archives.

YouTube – Jackson created an outline for the video tour of the inside of BCH. We talked extensively about what the video could contain, how to organize information within it, how to arrange the house, and additional parts of the BCH to include. Ty edited Jackson’s outline to include the following info: Kitten Corner, accessibility, that we accept library donations, a list of supplies we make available, tying elements of the space to events we’ve held, setting up the space to be “presentation/move” style, and inviting the viewers to participate in the BCH by attending events or joining these planning meetings.

Additionally, the trailer video for YouTube can only be a certain length, so we will need to edit our filmed trailer so it fits within those parameters. Marc will find some editing software to take care of this. Depending on how easy the video editing process is, we can also plan to do more editing for the BCH inside tour video.

Meeting adjourned: 8:30 PM
