From dan at thecsl.org Wed Jul 1 12:35:20 2009 From: dan at thecsl.org (Dan MacNeil) Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:35:20 -0400 Subject: [CSL board] meetup notice Message-ID: <4A4B9048.8070402@thecsl.org> As it turns out, Meetup.com wants serious $$ to organize our meetings. I decided that this wasn't worth it. Apparently, I didn't look closely at the fine print, but I / we don't own the meet-up I created on meetup.com for the board meeting. Hence the annoying messages asking you to step up and organize the board meetup. --and presumably to start paying the $$ I couldn't "unsubscribe" you from the meetup w/o sending you annoying email. This is a bad thing about the "cloud" and an argument for running your own servers. Sorry for the hassle. I might register: meetupcomsucks.com is as yet unregistered. Though maybe better would be: MeetupComSlightlyEvil.com w/ a 1 page slight elaboration of this email might be a better strategy.

When filling out the sheet, please reflect on how you would like to contribute to the Board in the next 6 months to 1 year. If there is a way for you to contribute that was not included in this sheet, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know.

To compensate, we're making the following cuts: $6000 from my wage now: $3,000 $2400 from vista housing subsidy now: $0 $1000 from contingency now: $0 The VISTAs weren't aware they might get a subsidy so morale loss should be minimal. Projecting for the year, We still are short $1700 If more money doesn't come through, we can make more cuts. On the thinking positive side: 1) We have an easy payment plan of 6 months to pay the CTC VISTA project 2) It would be worse without the $118 to $138 we now have in automatic monthly donations / pledges. My sincere apologies for getting this out at the last minute before tonight's 6:30pm conference call.

Re: Dan's message about the immediate shortfall. Dan, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of the north shore funding, and the the subsequent shortfall. On the positive side, I am sure each of us on the board greatly appreciates your attitude and personal sacrifice in an attempt to keep the CSL up and running. In response: I'll send you a check with a donation of 250 dollars immediately.We'll also commit to 20 dollars per month from August until the end of the year, with a review in January to see if it's possible to do more. We'd like to commit more now, but happy news, have just found out we have a baby on the way. BTW: If business had been better this year, It would have been a thousand up front. Let's hope for a stronger recovery next quarter ;) Team, Our re-scheduled executive meeting will include discussion of a business development plan starting at 6:40. I'll ask each of you to be on the line and to bring your own ideas to the table, including any board member interested in the continued success of the organization. In short: It is not only possible for this organization to survive, but thrive! YOU my fellow board members, are the key to making that happen. Thanks for your time and your continued support of Dan and his intrepid team.
