by Pine W 11 Feb '15

Hi Cascadians, Please check out these logos and voice your preferences. The early favorite from tonight's discussion is the logo in the upper right corner of this image file. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6S0XrzfcwHKeDlrd0dMeTlMNGJqcU1tOG1PbGtCcm5… We need a decision by end of day Wednesday so that the website can be updated Thursday, and so that I can print business cards on Thursday, in advance of the workshops on Friday and Saturday. Thanks! Pine

Mailing address and registered agent

Hi all, I am happy to report that Cascadia Wikimedians User Group now has a mailing address and a registered agent. Please use this address for all mail, unless there is legal service of process involved: *Cascadia Wikimedians User Group* *Attn: 3026* *555 116th Ave NE, #242* *Bellevue, WA 98004* Notes and reminders: * Our phone number is 206-659-7420 * We can use our allotment of two in-office days per month at the Seattle and Bellevue Impact HUB locations. * The Bellevue location is offering a temporary 40% discount for our dues while they are doing upgrades to their physical layout. It appears that they will be doing upgrades for at least a few more months. The savings will be passed on to WMDC for the first two months in the form of lower expenditures for the rent that they agreed to fund via the startup grant. * I am currently listed as the subscriber for Impact HUB. We can have guests and meetings but people will need to be with me for the subscription rate to apply, otherwise we may be charged a per-use fee. If you need to have an event at Impact HUB when I am not present then please let me know ahead of time so that I can ask Impact HUB to accommodate the request. * Our subscription rate applies only for use during daytime business hours. <206-659-7420> * Impact HUB provides some member benefits and discounts. The one that looks most interesting to me is a program that connects nonprofits and social enterprises with free legal services by attorneys who join this network: http://www.trust.org/trustlaw/. Considering that the law firm that I contacted about our interest in having our 501(c)(3) application reviewed has been largely unresponsive in the last week, I am thinking that TrustLaw may be the way to go. We might also ask them to review our bylaws to ensure that there are no compliance issues between our bylaws and Washington State laws for nonprofits. I will look into this in more detail when we get closer to assembling a 501(c)(3) application. Here is our registered information information, *to be used only for legal service of process*: Patty Henry, Paralegal 520 Kirkland Way, Suite 400 Kirkland, WA 98033 I plan to set up our government registrations this week, and once that is done then I can set up our banking services at BECU, hopefully by the end of next week. Cheers, Pine *This is an Encyclopedia* <https://www.wikipedia.org/> *One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies The deep rock of our past, in which we must delve The well of our future,The clear water we must leave untainted for those who come after us,The fertile earth, in which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,And the broad fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not know.* *—Catherine Munro*

Wiki Education Foundation meetup tomorrow (Wednesday, Febuary 4)
by Sage Ross 03 Feb '15

Hello Cascadians! My colleague from Wiki Education Foundation, LiAnna Davis, is going to be in Seattle on Wednesday evening. (We're doing a research and planning sprint for a our technical projects.) Would anyone be interested in hanging out with me and LiAnna, talking about Wikimedia education stuff and Cascadia stuff, and (optionally) having some drinks? It would probably be somewhere in Fremont, maybe around 6pm. This would be a nice chance to get a clearer shared understanding of how education projects will figure into Wikimedia Cascadia's program plans. -Sage
