All right, so steering committee meeting last time of the year. It is December 13. It is super late, but better late than ever. The end of the year has suck balls for everyone. Oh, yeah. Okay. I wanted. I was talking to him earlier, and we want to keep it. I liked your idea of keeping it super simple. So I know, we talked about, like, bylaw changes for Election Committee to the last one. But like, who cares, we don't need to pass it now. Like we're following what we passed. But we said we'll put it into the bylaws of the next meeting. But let's just hold off until next year. And at this meeting, let's just do the election stuff. And then kind of end the meeting and then have like a non recorded end of year kind of, we'll have food. We'll still be on Zoom. But like kind of a chit chat about like, how we feel about the VCU how we feel about our personal lives and what we're going to be doing in the upcoming year. Just like a very relaxed conversation about life and life with WSU. I just thought that'd be kind of last meeting of the year. What do you think? Yeah, that sounds great. Yeah. Sounds good. Okay, so for the agenda. We will have elections, we're steering and then the normal agenda parts of normal meeting. It just updates on what is it? Like family members? or friends?
Family, people in crisis members and crisis or family members in crisis?
Yeah. And if you can do that first introduction, nothing new will be there. But introductions, updates on family crisis elections for sharing, and then you can get updates. I guess we'll have a panel on YouTube is to say we're canceling the meeting. Yeah,
we're gonna say we should probably make it really clear what we're doing with the tenant union to postponing until the beginning of the year. Yeah. All that kind of stuff. And also maybe put any notes on the Palestine stuff that's happening after this. Yeah.
Okay, and then but and then just have off the record. Talk about what you see. Yeah, just leave it at that because I think yeah, that works for me. We kind of have to
Yeah, I'm gonna because I'm going to try and actually get down there in person for the meeting. I have to be I have to like get back to Lodi relatively quickly after the end of the meeting, but like I would like to actually be there in person interviews so
yeah. Yeah, I know that's super short but yeah, anything else you guys want to add? Know Robbie should be able to make it Paulo has a femur. So he likely will not be able to come in person. Unfortunately. Yeah. I do just spend some time with everyone. Always or like last two months I just felt like what the fuck yeah, someone messaged me and was like Hey, like I will study see you but and I'm like we've all been something I'm like, I don't want like Riley you like your computer died and you stopped responding I was like oh god like something terrible terrible but I was like, Thank God hope you felt like you have dead somewhere.
No, no I was yeah sorry. That would be the track record. Having your having your computer I didn't realize how dependent I was on my phone and my computer because like I don't have any phone numbers I only fucking emails like if I without both of that like because I have my work computer that doesn't do anything for me. But
um yeah, there was a couple of people reached out after the personnel same thing. Like other people that follow up like campaign before, they're all like I tried to like rope them into you know, join WC of course everyone's like our business holidays. But yeah, I think we can if we can get on the right foot of like not not onboarding people. Next year. I think we'll extend champion like starting off on the right foot but That's the conversation for tomorrow, I guess. Yeah. Okay, sorry for not doing this sooner, but couldn't get everyone together on a day before like I wasn't available.
Okay. I mean, I think that I think this is good for like the end of the year, basically, I think that once whatever, like the first meeting of like the new steering committee at the beginning of the year is, we can like, try and hit the ground running there. Yeah,
I'm going to try to spend the holidays trying to finish up because the, like, the dues stuff is, like, basically set I so big hurdle I was having with the website design was it really easy to have a signup form that just says, like, sign up with Google, sign up with Facebook, sign up with Twitter or whatever, or like your, like your email and custom password, you know, you can like make accounts for those different those different ways. But I was trying, I was trying to also get it to add, like the address, and phone number and all that stuff to that form. And I could not figure that out. And I don't think you're really supposed to add that there. But I wanted to add it there before, like we, you know, started taking people's money. But I realized, maybe what we can do is like you have to come to a person or to a meeting like to vote like otherwise, it doesn't matter if like, we know whether you're whether you live in Santa San Joaquin County or not right, like unless you come to a meeting to vote. And if a new person comes to a meeting, then that's when we should take their information. And, you know, be like, Oh, you actually you live in Florida, you actually don't qualify to be like a voting member. But you're welcome to like, sit and sit in. Yeah. And, and like your dues or donations basically. Yeah, exactly. So I think, once I thought of that, then I was like, okay, then all the signup stuff should be pretty quick. This is what I was struggling with trying to develop and then I realized, doesn't matter. Just collect the information in person. Much easier. So yeah, so we can just use like the default template and just pass it on. And then there's just the Okay, tomorrow, Thursday, okay, for sure. Tomorrow, I can contact. I can email the tax guy. He might charge us like a route or Palace, it might be like 100 or something. That's 100 200. The Dark Zone. Yeah. And yeah, I just have my last question, because we should get it filed. Because I think like we might have to pay our once you file that, then we have to pay our $800 in taxes. Like that's what I want to figure out. There's like $800 fee.
You have a year. Again, this is just from the my little research I did into 209 times. But I think you have a year to be delinquent on taxes, even like I think it's not until the following tax season that you actually have to pay the $100. And don't forget to pay it like immediately. No,
that makes sense to me. Yeah. You only have to pay taxes every other year. Yes. Yeah. IRS even has a thing on that. Yeah.
Okay. Okay. That's great. That's what Powell was worried about. And I was also like, yeah, we got
pretty much money. Yeah. Okay, then
yeah, we can figure it out. And then yeah, we can pitch in to pay that guy and then 800 We can figure out afterwards. Okay, that makes me feel better. Hopefully we can get all the tech stuff at least submitted it's going to take a few weeks for it to process and over the holidays. We're not going to process anything probably like everyone's gone for like the last two weeks.
Everyone's doing the bare minimum work. Everyone's on skeleton crews. Everyone's sick. So
sick. They're sick. And then there's also actual people so yeah, I've been
Yeah, I've been faking sick. It's a great time to fake six.
Again, Chris on the record, Jesus Christ.
I don't feel too bad about
a socialist group are allowed to fake sick.
I haven't missed any of these meetings. So my priority. Computer implodes and then I know that that's not that's your computer getting sick.
It's the wrong virus.
Okay, all right. You
know, this is gonna say epic. That's it. Yeah, we can cook we can keep talking but we can close the meeting. Now, let's see. Are
there anything that I don't think I think we're good. Okay,
