House Meeting 2 Topics

So if I remember correctly, Shawn is going to be in the city very soon. You know what that means. . . House Meeting!

Let's brainstorm some topics to cover. Big ones I'll throw out there right away:

Possible Tenants - the list is growing. I don't think they should be there because we still haven't discussed what we need out of the next two people. However, we must address this topic as (surprisingly) these people are getting antsy about it.

Deposits: I like the system we've got setup. Should we keep going with this or is there any other options that could be better?

Bank Account: What bank should it be with? BoA would be convenient (transfers internally work smoothly), but my dad can get a sweet account with Cambridge Savings because they have a business deal with his school. We'd probably all get ATM cards that will be free at any ATM. I'm getting a bit faclempt - discuss amongst yourselves. Bank of America is neither a real bank nor is it America. There, I'm better now.

The House's Websites: I think we should have an internal site (the one I started building) and a public site (the one Shawn began).

Business we can do without the house: I did an onsite recording session the other day. What else can we do that we don't need to have the house for?

The renovations: We need to picture the best space possible so we have a proposal to give to Lynell. I'd like to get Jim Anderson and Leon Janikian over there to consult us.

Non-profit status/Business Certificate: Start saving your receipts!! 2009 will be a year of writing off a lot of things towards the business. We need to set our goals for this stuff. I'd like to have the non-profit status process underway when we move in. It would be awesome if our "Fundraiser Gala's" would be tax write-off keggers for all!

(Speaking of which) The Pig Roast Fundraiser: This will be a couple weeks into living there, so not a topic we need to discuss right away. Good to think about though.

A few small topics: Should we keep that hutch in the dining room? When should we expect to start contributing $50 a month to the house account? How big is Brian's left big toe anyway?

Feedback!! Participation!! (Insert motivational shit here)!! Please! Thank you! Take it easy!
