NEXT MEETING

POSTCARD FUND RAISING
Everyone brings the money they have raised so far on the Monday meeting for Jens to collect and sum it up. Everyone makes an effort to get as many as possible sold by then.

FUND RAISING
Jens and Jenny has contacted some companies in Hackney about sponsorship but has not got any replies.
Jens will compose a letter describing our project and what we need the money for, that is to be used (by us all) when finding sponsors.
Jens, Jenny and Patrick contact people at the university to investigate if they can sponsor us in any way (to be started before Wednesday next week).
and IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE
Jens will make a list of local businesses and divide them between us and post on the blog before this Friday. What we all then need to do is to go to the ones given to us and ask for fundings. We can offer to have their logos on our promotional material.
DEADLINE FOR APPROACHING THEM IS BY FRIDAY 9th.

CHAIRPERSON
Jennie was elected chairperson of the meetings. I (Jennie) suggests that everyone downloads and reads this before next meeting if you haven't already.
Keep posting (on blog) issues we need to address and I'll add them to the meeting agenda. There will of course be some time left at the end for additional topics but in an attempt to keep meetings as efficient as possible, please try to be prepared with what you are supposed to present to the group.


MEETING WITH LO-TEC
Zara and Sandra goes to Marie Lloyds for a meeting with Lo-tec on Thursday to see what possibilities they have to support us.
Questions:
If they want to do the flyers how soon can they be finished?
What do they want in return?
Would they be interested in producing the catalogue with us?
Can they help us get in contact with other relevant businesses / organisations?

CONTRACT SIGNING
Sandra brings the revised (by John) contract for the venue manager to sign on Thursday (tomorrow).

INVITES
If you have suggestions on people/organisations we should invite forward details to Zara and Patrick. They are in charge of coordinating this.

INVITE LETTER
Patrick and Zara makes a draft for an invite letter for Monday.

CATALOGUE
Zara and Patrick in charge of this as well. What we agreed on is that the catalogue is going to be post-exhibition. Investigation needed on what we can afford which leads us to the task of figuring out how much money we can raise.

LOGO SUGGESTION
Ala makes a few versions of the mosaic image, Jennie adds font and send them to the blog by Thursday for the group to have a look at please add comments. This is our suggested design for both the invite cards and for the web-page header.

TECHNICAL ARRANGEMENTS IN VENUE
Sandra and John takes photos in the venue and comes up with some examples on how we can arrange it space-wise. There are issues surrounding where to put the projector etc. Brings examples for group meeting on Wednesday.

WEB PAGE
Peter and Jennie tries to get it as finished as possible for Monday. What will take more time to figure out is the Flickr-extracting code we want to use to display the Hackney in focus flickr-group photos on the front web page.
