Project 3DP

Justin Myers purchased 2lbs of PLA plastic. This will probably last a few months. In the long run, many types of supplies are needed at HacDC, so a general supplies fund of some kind is needed. We should fund that ASAP.

New Business

• If not sufficient Project Awesome funds , then approve purchase of more PLA (as discussed by Mirage)
• Last Consider (no vote) Article II of the Proposed Standing Rules for voting on at next month's meeting.
