ACR Board Meeting Highlights 2017 August

Austin Creative Reuse's board met on August 7. Here are some highlights from our meeting:

• We will be sending one representative to the State of Texas Alliance for Recycling Summit conference in October.
• Sales in July were strong, and August is on track to also show strong sales. July sales' strength was due in large part to significant donations from Austin Community College and Silk Road.
• We approved a budget for the current fiscal year and an application for the City of Austin Economic Development Department's Art Space Assistance Program to assist with huge increases we will be facing when our current lease terminates in 2018.
• Join us at the Thinkery21 event where participants will make a craft project with Austin Creative Reuse. Thinkery21 are events where grown ups can enjoy an evening at Thinkery on their own. While tickets to the event have sold out, ACR is looking for a few additional volunteers to assist at our booth at the event: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0e48aca92aa31-austin5.
