>> purged. Potentially need to re-arrange some shelves to make space for
>> common sections that get expanded regularly. There are about 750 books in
>> the catalog that are not tagged with a category, and most books are not
>> alphabetized. This should probably be the next project to be tackled in
>> regards to library organizing.
>>
>> Nathan - Stickers awaiting contact info to be added.

>>
>> Wayside Ice Cream Social went very well. Many many new faces. About 40

>> - Shane would like to see a social event in mid-August. Ellen suggested a
>> potluck and fire. Volunteers, friends, and ally groups invited. Try to
>> bring new folks! Add to next agenda for volunteer meeting.
>>
>> Budget
>> - Haven't spent much money this month. Robin volunteered to pick up
>> volunteer coffee. During open hours, HOUSE COFFEE AND RELATED ITEMS ARE OFF
>> LIMITS. Housemates have been missing sugar and creamer in a capacity that
>> is way too big. But we still want y'all to have those things! Therefore,
>> *Coffee budget has been upped to $15 to provide for volunteer creamer
>> and sugar.
>> *
>> Books:
>> - Update the Wishlist! Before the social, Ellen wants to order more books.
>>
>> ZineFest Help:
>> - Contact Mara about supporting a Zine event to promote ZineFest.
>>
>> Computer:
>> - Ramey passes the duty of computer fixin' on to Shane. If that doesn't
>> work out, then we might need to do a computer fundraiser to buy a new
>> computer.
>>
>> Adjourned. Next meeting will be pushed to 3 weeks from now, *Wednesday,
>> August 1st, 8:30pm*. This will avoid having two Brick meetings in one
>> week, and we wont be back to back on Wednesdays with the IWW.
