Credit Union, current signers met at Vancity and signed papers for new
signers. Need to check which new signers have gone down to sign on.
Tosh to follow up.

Storage, everything is out of Maple Leaf Storage. Done before
additional payment done. Next step is to work on inventory tracking
spreadsheet. Eric to bottom-line.

Outstanding reimbursements: Porta-pottie invoice will be paid in full
by Council of Canadians national. No other receipts presented for
reimbursement.

Peace Camp proposal, recommend to Spokes Council not to financially
support. While may be nice idea raises too many issues about
priorities for OV, precedent for other requests for travel from
multiple people and disbursement of our resources. Bob will follow up
with him.

General Strike May 1: part of global call-out from Occupy’s. More of
system strike since not coming from union movement. No budget proposal
at this time. Suggested bring forward if needed.
