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.

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
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

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.

We have a lot happening this month.
# Possible meetup with LiAnna from WikiEd tomorrow.
# Monthly social at Cafe Allegro on Tuesday. No formal agenda.
# Workshops at UW on the 13th and 14th. See [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle]].
Cheers,
Pine
