Materials
National is bundling the Fent strips with important stuffs. In new packaging! :D Still coming as of 3/27?
Hollie has 2 bags of hi-chew in her trunk. Will coordinate to get them. Maybe S-Con or Sacred Dance?
Storage Organization
Need Shelves, may ask Nat’l if they have recommendations. Will shop for some.
Karl to measure storage for exact measurements. (Outside of being 10x10)
Don to keep an eye on Buy Nothing for shelves. Shaq's folks might have spare shelves. Don also has spare parts to build a shelf.
Then need volunteers to do the actual organization for one day, probably on the weekend? But can schedule out.
Steph wants to see the storage!
Also need more pronoun pins! Pip has the button maker, Karl sent it the design files we had last meeting.
To Order:
Hearing Protection Cards
Karl consolidated back the gear into three bins.
Karl also sold a full kit yesterday! Might need to buy more kits soon due to age, and update chapter kit.

Karl still needs to work on this! Will reach out to folks (Michelle/Don) if help needed.
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.
