BKSS mtg: minutes 7/28/09

Small meeting @ Think! Coffee of the immeditate cooperative:

  • Scheduled classes! Teachers, stay tuned…
  • Started hashing out our budget, thanks to the guidance of the fine folks from the Boston Skillshare and our treasurer, Aaron Dias.
  • Gearing up for our presentation for FEAST! It’s on Saturday, August 8th @ Church of the Messiah (129 Russell Street, Brooklyn 6-9p; $10-20, no one turned away). Come for good food and supporting the community. Jessica Goldfond will be presenting our mission on behalf of the Skillshare. Come out and vote for us!
  • We are now on the interwebs at www.brooklynskillshare.org!
  • Currently working on filing as a non-profit.
  • Finalizing the benefit show (FRIDAY, AUGUST 8TH @ GLASSLANDS!). The über-talented Cristin Burton is working away on the poster design for the show. Can’t wait!
  • Next meeting will hopefully be at Gowanus Studio Space so all involved can check out our home digs!
  • Potentially co-opting t-shirts for the Skillshare with lovely Brooklyn-based, eco-conscious, sister-duo, Lovemore! Would you buy an sustainably screen-printed organic tee? I think so…
  • Working on sposnors/donations (beer! coffee! food!)
  • PR sourceress, Yana Walton, has compiled a database for promoting the Skillshare and the benefit show. Be on the lookout for blitzkrieg of ballyhoo!

Lots accomplished. More to get done. Amazing to see this all coming together!

Much Love,

Meg
