You are entitled to your opinion. No gripes here. This first round of shirts are for the Fundraiser for yoyo Expert. Jake has given permission for us to use the G2 logo, but not on these fundraiser shirts. The Workhorse shirt to match the Yoyo WILL be sporting the G2 logo. Have fun. ---

We’re the yo-yo boomers club. Cranky is gonna happen. But hey, no sweat man. My back hurts, I have a cold, I can’t visit my parents because my dad would get INSANELY sick during his treatments. I got pulled over because my tail lights aren’t working. I’m cranky. I’m gonna sleep too and we’re all gonna wake up a little happier, at least for the coffee. ---

At this point we are settling on the margins. Our goal is 1 garment = 1 yoyo donated. Once finalized the other Fundraiser Shirts (Yes, thats plural) will go live. ---

I’d also like to note that _ **ALL** _ YYBC item profits will go to the YYBC. The fundraiser shirts money will be used for the Toys for Toys drive, and the rest of the items’ profits will go into a YYBC account of some sort once we sort that out. I’m keeping track of sales, with a complete breakdown of costs/profits, and sharing that with @Pun1sh3R to keep things transparent. Throw-Yo is not profiting off any YYBC merch. I’m just the delivery vehicle 😃 ---

Now that’s some research! Nice. We use webex and teams for long meetings with vendors or trainings. Short form trainings and consults we have a free Zoom because it too hard to teach teachers how to use anything else. But webex has been good to me when I have to chat with Cisco or Ubiquiti. ---

Yeah there are paid versions of all the free options but I realized early on we need to talk about a budget and who is in charge of money if we go for a paid option as now we have not just donations but operations involved wasn’t sure if we want to get that involved or not but it’s an option ---

Hmmm. I’m gonna check out a few things on my backend, maybe my vendors know something I don’t, because that’s usually the case since I’m clueless. ---

My General thoughts. Lets continue along the Free route. Once we get consistent with our meetings, we can look at paid options when needed. I feel before we invest, we need to get established. While the club has $21.00 dollars to its name right now, its earmarked for our Fundraiser. Thank you for all the Research Mr. Brandon. What do you recommend we use for our next meeting? ---

I’m heading to a Christmas market with the kids so I’ll be out of pocket but wanted to throw out my notes to give folks a chance to let me know if I missed an option or if there is an absolute no in my list. I’ll give my good better best recommendation tonight after I get the kids to bed unless someone comes up with a cool option I didn’t consider. I don’t claim to know everything. With that said I did look at some absurd options like a FaceTime link that could do up to 32 people unlimited time but I figure that’s too in the weeds also though about offering my synology with a meeting fall to the cause. Theoretically my bandwith with traffic shipping can handle about 40 people for however long we want but that makes things more complex and I would rather a third party service over some purpose built solution. ---
