[9:12pm] Joe: I have something to add.
[9:12pm] Bosun: Go ahead Joe.
[9:13pm] Joe: Due to the lack of contributions from states, our funds are currently at $165 in cash. The only two states to contribute are MA and WI.
[9:14pm] Bosun: OK - what do we need?
[9:14pm] Joe: My suggestion is to do a web drive to help fund trips of active states to non-act to help organize.
[9:14pm] Joe: such as teeshirts or the like.
[9:15pm] Joe: That way we can send you, our fearless leader, to where you are needed.
[9:15pm] Joe:
[9:15pm] jokeefe: Suggest we need a budget as well.

[9:26pm] jokeefe: We use zillow
[9:27pm] Joe: Make it one message, like.... "Any functional Adult 2020"
[9:27pm] jokeefe: There is a cafepress uspp account
[9:28pm] Joe: that would do it.
[9:28pm] Joe: I think this would be more appropriate for it to be on a national level instead of each state.
[9:29pm] Joe: Easier to keep an eye on the numbers.
[9:29pm] Bosun: we should adjourn. Let's discuss t-shirt strategy next week, also Kenosha.
