JOB OPENING
- Molly says we need to get it posted now, the rest of the process is in January
- Michael thinks job description looks good, he's going to add the part about icarus values/already engaged members of the community tonight and send it out
- Post on craigslist and idealist, Molly will bump it up on the forums
- Mimi - raises concerns about stringing applicants along by not getting back to them for a while, then saying we want to do another interview, but only going through the motions for the sake of our process.
- Molly - we should tell any former applicants we'll be interviewing again that we're opening it up to everyone again and explain why so they don't see the post on craigslist and get the wrong idea. Michael agrees.
- Michael and Will will figure out when to start the process (Mimi suggests Thurs Jan. 8th)
- Nick will remove any applicants from the coordinators list

FUNDRAISING
- Membership drive is scheduled to start in the next year (January/February), not as part of the end-of-the-year fundraising drive
- Molly - Proposal: Mad love auction/fundraising drive in January?
- we should all send out a small-scale fundraising email to our friends w/ links to donate or purchase materials on the site
- we got a $100 donation on the site!

Group Check-ins:

- web - Nick did a bunch of work on the site... he set up the storefront, wrote up documentation for using organic groups, upgraded the site and got external links to open in new windows.

- education/outreach - Michael is working on collaboration with several groups
 - molly/michael/casey working on formal fountain house proposal for the future
 - Michael's finding more volunteers in the local NY group for ed/outreach
 - people are interested in working with fountain house in the name of NY Icarus
 
admin/distro
  - finally got a meeting scheduled w/ someone from microcosm
  - we may be able to just go through them instead of the storefront
  - bank account thing - Mimi and Michael are supposed to be the names for the account, but bank said they weren't on it. Mimi's waiting to hear back from Oryx to find out what happened. they also need to get a memorandum protecting them from legal responsibilities with the account, like tax stuff.

support
  - lot of energy on web forums on starting up/revamping local groups and people looking to volunteer
  - molly suggests coordinators breaking down small tasks that we could assign to volunteers

***holiday meeting schedule***
- everyone should be on the call next week since we won't be on the call the following two weeks (xmas eve/new years eve)
- meet as usual next week but plan on it being a little longer
