Old Business

The phone: Again a vote for an old-school hardwired landline.
- Brian suggests connecting to smart phones to create a phone tree
- Don says we used to have a phone for $10.00 / year with a dial tone, but no one paid the bill and it appears to have gone away
- Gabe says people use Discord to request entry, if they know about it.
- Don will reach out this week to Jamie who will probably know about the phone.
- Michelle likes Discord for a bit of security over a buzzer: It's more likely people won't be strangers. But alternatives / backups worth consideration.

Web changes:
- Remove "get a server account"
- Onboarding documents for new members.
- Michelle is hoping to find time to work on this during the coming week.

Electronic lock
- Preventative mainenance
- 1.5v AA batteries replaceable with a screwdriver.
