IDEAS FOR THE EVENT

Fundraising team will update the general meeting every Tuesday till it happens asking for input and help if needed
Fundraising meeting will be Mondays 7PM

When would be good days to do the event?

Holidays are coming up so it will likely be something in the new year.
It could be somewhere about 10 weeks out or further go give guild projects like Game Camp cohort projects and space improvements time to be ready to show.
Valentines: Valentine's Day is on a Monday. We could spend the weekend before hosting our grand opening, showing the love for Noisebridge. -gaardn
New Years: We could do a new years party even if its not the main reopening since other commercial events on NYE tend to suck and be expensive.

Add your ideas here.

5 Minutes of Fame: Having cool talks about things people have been doing would be inspiring.
Hack Comedy: They did a fun event already and would be great to make light of some challenging times.
Music Guild: Members and/or booked musicians on the quieter side or with headphone rave setup during daylight hours to be considerate of neighbors.

Auctions? -pyconaut
Fundraising project goals: Highlight things we're fundraising for like elevator, fume hood, etc.
Ask Javier or MusicJ about music-related event
Ask Victor of Hack Comedy for ideas on running it
New version of Barbot, brought most money at 4 previous fundraisers, made $1K+ each time
Valentines themed event
Brewbridge to make brews for the party.

Safety: Guidelines on distancing, vaccination+ booster requirements, masks, and safe occupancy numbers.
Outside: Outside patio area can provide safer area for congregations with open air ventilation, as per many businesses operating street tables.
Noise Levels and Hours: Hack Comedy experienced someone telling us to be quiet at one point so we need to keep loud stuff earlier in the day.
Sound barrier: A wall of some kind could absorb most of our noise from inside.

We can look back at some of our past events for inspiration on what to keep doing.
