			Nothing to report at the moment, I was traveling a lot this past month. El Presidente and I looked over the donated 60" TV LED issues last night, and Dan is going to see if he can rustle up a replacement for the ONE DEAD LED that is keeping the screen from working.

	After making contact in person, and proceeding with some follow-up, SeeMeCNC shipped us a free Rostock Max kit, the absolute best-value printer on the market. Julia Longtin is taking care of assembly for that printer, as well as Shawn Wilson's own Rostock Max.

			Given we now have two 3D printers, including one of the proposed types, I consider the budget approved (officially unconditionally, unofficially conditionally) at last month cancelled, with no plans to spend it.

	Two members lost valuable cleanup time straitening out work surfaces. That time could otherwise have been used to free up more space instead. Apparently, making it absolutely clear this behavior is highly unhelpful has been insufficient. Wish we had RFID logs to personally draw attention to the individual responsible.

			To be clear, this does not refer to the legitimate mess created during 3D printer commissioning, which was easily and neatly packed up this morning.

	In preparation for the 2014 Summer School session, ~~I foresee~~ a related kit build for rookies in late June or mid-July. Because Summer School participants are required to buy their own supplies, none, or little, of Project KITBUILD's funds would be used unless soldering irons need mending or more power strips are needed.

	It would be fun to have a more advanced kit build before or around that time. More on this under New Business.		It would be fun to have a more advanced kit build before or around that time. More on this under New Business.
