 ====== Meeting Notes ======
+==== 07/07/2010 ====
+location: suzette
+notetaker: fool
+attendees: fool, amos, bonnie, drew;  added before 6:30 - aaron t, emilia woodside, alex reese, kirsten thom; daniel at 6:45
+===== WNBR suggestions: =====
+   * **Daniel** can we get portapotties or businesses to provide potties on the route? or maybe encourage people to use it before/after ride?  or at least mention to new riders on faq page and/or handout at gate.  might help cut back on riders using the city as their urinal.
+   * can we do two shorter loops?  some folks just don't want to ride that far.  practicality says probably not (Daniel points out we filled 2/3 of the route for the whole time this year) but maybe a cutoff for shorter route if we make the main route longer?  TBD w/ planning group
+   * need to solicit thankyou notes from shift for PPB+others - make at meetup! - fool to announce and solicit materials
+===== WNBR funds & fundraising =====
+   * spending shift money on PPKP - $400 is voted for stickers.  can come back for other funding needs.
+   * fundraising for next year needs to be addressed monthly, needs a leader who can start now (maybe steph?).
+      * start with steph
+         * maybe she'll work on commission?
+      * mostly looking for $$ vs in kind, unless it was: mechanics, location, bike parking, portapotties, band, etc.
+      * use kickstarter or other means to pre-solicit donations directly from the riders?
+      * get notes from afterparties on how much they made, to increase sensibility of afterparties next year + make marketing easier.
+      * set a goal ($5000?) and work towards it so we have some sense of progress.
+===== pedalpalooza post-mortem =====
+   * calendar kudos out the wazoo - thanks tall steve!
+   * so many amazing rides w/amazing turnout
+   * aaron wants to connect with the oregon tourism board or similar org to get the word out to promote (worldwide) tourism to portland for pedalpalooza
+      * someone should contact business owners to get notes about increased $ from pp (pizza/tacos/socks/etc) - fool to solicit ride leaders on shift
+   * pedalpalooza - should be longer! - 3 weeks?  could get one weekend apiece for parkways, WNBR, and MCBF that way!
+   * encourage shifties + others to make their own favorite rides regular (you, too, can lead a taco ride!), outside of pedalpalooza - just choose one and do it.
+   * MCBF vs sunday parkways = not on same days again.
+   * MCBF - praise for location, vast agreement that it should stay at end of PP
+   * MCBF - heather to be reimbursed $10 for berries out of shift $ if MCBF won't/can't pay
+===== other =====
+   * MVP's from WNBR: halley and stephen - shift to pay dutch for an hour apiece for those two? ( $100 ).
+   * fool pinged tall steve for his last meetup location idea for next meetup to post to shiftadmin

+==== 03/17/10  ====
+  * Location: Florida Room, 435 N. Killingsworth
+  * Facilitator: Evan Ross
+  * Notetaker: Esther Harlow
+  * Attending: April Wiza, Chris McCraw, Esther Harlow, Timo Forsberg, Carl Larson, Ryan Good, Shannon, Starmichael, Starmichael's friend, Lily Karabaic, Theo Roffe, Evan Ross, Rick
+**Next meeting**: we need a regular location, for next meeting. IPRC! Lily has us signed up. Let's return it there. Meeting Room, computers, central, downtown.
+**Treasurer report**: Chris says kickoff party fund has around $4k; shift has $2500. Party $ cant be used for WNBR without negotiation with Umbrella.
+**WNBR**: Carl has met with PPB- Dan Saltzman's office (police commish) supports but doesn't want it to conflict with Rose Parade. So June 19th-meaning wd be middle weekend, not kickoff weekend, of PP. 6/10 is parade, 6/26 is MCBF, segueing into Parkways as last event. (!)
+Stephen Upchurch has taken on WNBR with no other dovetailed events, including party being nonessential- most work goes into that. They are looking into gathering spot, locations. Carl meeting with Merc, who's potentially hosting an afterparty, as well as other decentralized parties expected to crop up. Still need volunteers- cleanup, crowd wrangling. Lily can get ridealong EMTs who work on other events.
+=== PLEASE TALK TO CARL IF YOU CAN HELP WITH WNBR INCLUDING REALTIME VOLUNTEERING AT WNBR. ===
+**Sponsorship of PP2010**: Carl meeting with Merc to talk about bike issue, calendar, sponsorship. Merc doing printout etc. Carl meeting with PBOT.
+Costs that want sponsorship: idea to offer a bag for clothes for wnbr? Could advertise afterparties.
+Fencing? Security?? For WNBR. Security is nice per Lily.
+Chris says Steph Routh is working w an immigrant group, could have translators and invite new immigrant communities on WNBR as empowerment. He will check with Steph.
+Carl wonders if theres other promotion possibilities. Billboards, etc.
+**Poster artist**: Tomas? Eric? Paul Z? Ask Justa to find someone? What about Carye Bye and Debbie West? Timeline: //April 30 is deadline for image//! We need artist by end of March. Carl talking to Justa!
+Mercury: Carl has that covered.
+**MCBF**: MCBF will be a more low-key unofficial event this year.  Organizers feel its current trajectory will only lead to selling-out, lameness, etc.  **Those with ideas for the event and an interest in making it happen should contact Carl.** Lily suggests someone can get hitched because permits are easier, if you want to do that Theo will help but timelines are still tight.
+Evan offers to wear wear a wedding dress all day long.
+No one is taking legal responsibility; event can get shut down at the last minute.
+There are still Umbrella MCBF funds. If someone wants to do this permitted, is possible.
+**Kickoff event on thursday**: parade? Party?
+Evan wants to do "ride, not parade"
+Ryan brings up formalized couch surfing exchange? Carl suggests also bikesharing. Ryan will email lily about couchsurfing..
+Evan's business will do discount.
+This pedalpalooza is big opportunity for new energy to come in and create new traditions!
+Agenda for next meeting, at IPRC usual Biz time:
+Art for PP - update
+WNBR - update
+Kickoff  - update
+Steph/immigrants at WNBR?
