Drug Checking
Drug Info
Safer Use Supplies (boofing kits, etc)
Merch
Merch
Discuss if we want more merch (water bottles, pins, crisp tubes) and figure out how they fit onto the table. Looking into stacking bins so we have more space. Will it require another bin?
(also we already have too many things on the table, so we need an organizational solution)
Karl - new lighting in the bins! More space in the bins for organization.
Haven looking into an arch over the table as an option. (it’s feasible, just need to get buy-in – Haven)
Bed Bath Beyond or Container Store? Fred Meyer? Things collapse or nest. And stuff that has space for labels!
Container Store for ideas and window shopping, Fred Meyer for affordability
Karl can make time for this after he gets back from travelling mid-April if nobody else wants to spearhead this.
Running gear inventory? To help with chapter finance. (Ex always having two sleeves of condoms in the gear) Also maybe a Pre Event Checklist.
Another box to store: cables, scissors, blades, badges & lanyards, markers
DS National
More q’s out of this? Chapter Leads and Board talking about next steps. Our storage needs and insurance seem to be covered thru the end of the year. Will share more as we find out more; we’re working to talk with chapter leads in other chapters too.
[Some discussion about this]
FTIR Testing w/ PubHealth
Thru Georgia! Best way is thru her work phone# and you can ask Karl for her number if interested. Texting thru Signal works too. Also calling is okay. E-spectronomy out on Thurs/Fri. At the Robert Clewis Center, Needle Exchange on 4th & Blanchard in Belltown. Downtown public health building - do FTIR, fent strip testing, but also access to GCMS testing thru U of North Carolina. Wed/Thurs/Fri, 9-5p.
Can test everything except weed and shrooms. Liquid is iffy, and LSD needs to be sent to the lab.
Can’t advertise too much, folks get some harassment sometimes for using services. :(
Also can go to PHRA (Fri/Sun afternoons)! Downtown Needle Exchange has drop boxes.
