The 2014 casino is scheduled for the 3rd quarter, a full two years from the last one, so casino revenue must be stretched over a longer time period than previously.

We discussed, looked at Neil's spreadsheets. 
Discussed staffing options, what is needed (e.g. p/t winter f/t summer), what it would save us, what Chris needs, etc.  Chris wants someone new before Alex leaves; that leaves us with 3 weeks to post & hire.  We are not sure about the feasibility of that.  Chris wants certain things/skills from a potential BW coordinator.  He has a draft description in the works.
Six month reserve OK since 2 shops ∴ low interruption risk.  Still need to come up with a way not to have a 20 000$ shortfall for the AGM budget.  Maybe: Cutting hours to 20 over the winter + hopefully 8 000$ for McCauley(sp?) grant, maybe juice & cookies only at bike-building, board mtngs, AGM.  Staff thing and food thing for sure - great!  That brings us to about an 8-9 000$ shortfall.  Hopefully we get an 8 000$ grant too!  Maybe we can spend less money on things like office supplies.  Chris Chan will perhaps solicit members for those things that everyone has too much of just lying around uselessly.
Neil: I move to approve. Seconded by Adam.  Carried.
