Hall- A lot of work been going on in the hall. Jason & Rob came and did a clean up, organization, and inventory of the sound equipment. Rob came and removed the old Gamble. Elena notes that chairs cannot be stored in the sound equipment area as they fall over from the vibration of from when there are big shows. Currently chairs outside the green room. She suggests that maybe a new rack can be purchased. The current racks are full and only have the padded chairs on them. The metal chairs have all been moved outside.
Damond has replaced a bunch of the burnt out bulbs. The motion sensor light in the front still not working so Elena suggests we get an electrician in to look at what the issue may be. Lonny suggests contacting Weston Field.
The merch/kid stuff room has been completely cleaned out and now all the stuff needs going through and throwing stuff away. A good start has been made. Green Ox will be donating a bunch of totes to label and reorganize. Still lots to be done to get the room in an orderly fashion.

Elena has been fielding questions regarding Rotr.
