Last Meeting’s Minutes

Approved without comments.

Financial Report (Faith)

The team has adequate funds for build season. A Boeing grant paid for registration and two MAR qualifying events. We've been awarded a UTC grant, which will cover Philadelphia (but have not received the funds yet).

Space Update

We are in Creamery Way for Build Season. Clem is putting together a physical proposal for a move into the STEM Academy. Still trying to gauge CCIU interest level.
Working on Security Clearances; Clem to send email with further clarification. We are still working under the terms of the proposed agreement 1640 sent to STEM (not formally executed).
If FRC 1640 goes to STEM, who goes? VEX indicated that it is not planning to go to STEM.

We also need a web (wiki) training session for new mentors and students (Schucker - McKown to schedule).
