    • this is being sent out to companies

    • one company says: 10/10, v organized/publicized, smooth event, but event location lacked area for attendants to eat (HP)

    • yay good job guys

    • should we have companies write their names on feedback forms?

  • Funds

    • "public funds" - Yitz

    • Yitz will submit forms "soon TM"

    • a few companies had to pay via credit card but Deepak hasn't responded in a week

    • Caleb also needs to talk to Deepak

    • lots of talks about forms and filling out forms and etc.

    • Deepak told Yitz/Caleb the wrong thing :(((

    • we need to not go through Deepak b/c he's overworked but we don't have a way of receiving credit card payment otherwise

    • we can't really push Deepak to go faster

    • course of action: ping him, if he doesn't respond, email companies, tell companies Deepak is being slow, if they're ok w/it they can pay us directly

    • side note: as treasurer, Yitz has to make funds publicly available to club members

      • fun fact if you wanna know how much money we have just ask Yitz!
