Agenda

3. Annual Strategy Meeting
4. Resource centre products
5. Bike trailer
6. Business cards
7. Cooking + cleaning schedule
1. Website
- What to do with website after marialena left? For the moment we don't have money for paying someone to change it. Unless we find someone to do it for free.
- Michael Bluejay wanted to help with web work: reprogramming resource site (from kagi to paypal). If not the financial structure, he could do the design of the page.
Eduardo from Brazil (refused EVS candidate) is also interested in doing voluntary webwork.
DECISION: We have to know from Radka what's possible in cz regarding payments. Justin will contact Michael to ask what's possible for the kagi site. Christi will ask Radka about cz situation/possibilities.
2. Magazine Exchange
- We're not sure about the use of this magazine but sending one magazine there can be good anyway. They also asked for back issues, which they can pay the postage for.
DECISION: We'll do the exchange with them and they'll have to pay for back issues postage.
3. Annual Strategy Meeting
- Kamila suggests to have it on Monday October 8 instead of Friday Oct 5.
DECISION: The meeting will be on October 8 starting from 10am.
4. Resource centre products
- "Caravan/Prague. Bicycling for a new world." new DVD considering for resource centre. We can get 50% on price, so USD 12.5 for one dvd.
NOTE: we should do a price check on our dvd's. Some are quite expensive and might be a barier for buying. At least we should not lose money on it.
- T-shirt designs. People in Turkey wanted to make new designs since they're planners designers. Maximum is 2 colors.
DECISION: We have to see the DVD first and decide. Justin will ask Zack to send in a copy. The price could be around USD20.
5. Bike trailer
- The bike trailer that we borrowed for the biketour hasn't returned yet. On the listserv of the biketour was a discussion whether to give the trailer back. Kamila tried to explain several times but it's not solved yet.
DECISION: We did what we could and don't feel like putting more time and energy in it. If they want to keep the trailers, we cannot do much but let them know it's not ethically correct.
Two trailers in the office are enough so if we can get one back. Kamila will write one last e-mail to say we'd like 2 trailers in office and they can use the others (as donation to them).
6. Business cards
- Thanks to Sam we have business cards for our staff. We should think about printing them in bigger amount. Justin will look into it.
