Team leads will give out the in/out token schwag early as indication that the person is verified to stay.Everyone will be invited to setup early starting Wednesday at 9am.  Early setup means that in/outs are okay until the gates officially open for all participants on Thursday.  However, anyone who comes early must keep their ticket on them for each in/out.This also means that we'll move the gate team to being work on Wednesday morning.Art Fundraiser Update15 volunteers, a little short of volunteers for takedown11 artist proposals were submitted on timeGiven the total funds requested (4 times the total last year), not all artists will get fully funded.  Therefore, it is important to establish a minimum funding level by which the artist still commits to bringing the art to Alchemy.Rebecca will ask each artist what is their minimum?  If the artist does not receive their minimum, then then money will not be distributed to them.Gate Staff SOP ManualBoard please review before next board meeting.July 31 – Aug 2 Work WeekendAPW to send Troy a lumber request for purchase before the work weekend.  Drop dead date is July 17th for lumber needsStorage Unit Space85% fullOne solution may be a 20’-45' shipping container, $1500 + $300 deliveryConsidering leaving on Cherokee Farms (with land lease)Next meeting, July 12, Domus in Flagrante DelictoNext Facilitator: Rebecca CobbNext notetaker:  Puzzle
