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.
Im 100 years old and have been chasing my kids all day. Im gonna go to bed and wake up in a better mood. Love you and im sorry for being negative at all.
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.
I got a three year old in the no phase. Today has made me want to crawl in a corner. Not yalls fault.
Mucho love to all of you. Sorry i havent been at boomer meetings. Friday afternoons are tough.
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.
Mr. Matt,
No harm, no fowl brother. Your good. Get some rest. The Terrific Threes are amazing (sarcastic).
Meetings are still a work in progress. We’ve tried Friday and Thursday. We will figure it out.
We need a Retro 80’s “RAD” design shirt in the future.
What acronym can we come up with using RAD?
I use this term all the time.
Rad as dude
I love acronyms that include the acronym in them. There’s a term for it, but I forgot 
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
That’s really awesome. I think another neat place proceeds could go outside of the holidays would be yye club grant program as I would love to see more localized club support and yoyo meet ups to grow the hobby.
I think of that as being recursive, but that could just be the programmer in me 
Bought one. It wouldn’t be my first choice, but I love the cause.
So in my spare time I’ve been looking at different commotions for the group
I’ve taken a while so l share my notes so far and when I got time share what I recommend but maybe this will get some things booted from the list off the bat or other recommendations I didn’t look into

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.
Looks like as long as I can start the meeting and transfer host, I’d suggest we continue to do that
