I would volunteer to help with a fundraiser! Just not planning it and all that
crazy stuff.
OR we could just run several extension cords from the outlets above the sink to
the other side of the lounge. Then we could plug the vacuums into that!
(What’s the life insurance like for our cleaning staff?)

What if we did something different this time, and actually... Did a fundraiser?
Would anyone be interested in selling stuff? It's not like you have to go door
to door: just bring samples to work/school and take orders.
What about a bingo? We never did one 'cause we needed an official electrical
estimate before. Do we have one now?
What about a social? Holding one at a community centre maximizes profit, but
takes lots of volunteers. Holding one at a bar let's you make money from the
tickets sold (not drinks), but utterly minimizes the work required.

It seems that for the most part, the general response is "members will need
to fund it." So this will probably need to be crowdsourced.

I think all the electrical problems can be considered safety issues, as our
people have proved endlessly creative in the past in rigging power to whatever
devices they want to use.
Short of physically removing the appliances in the kitchen, they will
undoubtedly continue to be used. With that in mind, Jay's suggestion that we
upgrade that outlet to GFI is reasonable. The cost of the outlet itself is
minimal, and will improve safety.
I think we should assume the worst case - that the landlord won't pay for
any of these repairs. If Ian gets us a credit towards our rent later, that's
great.
The last number I heard last night for electrical work was $2000, I think.
How quickly can we raise this, and when can we get the work done?

Yeah, I'll put donations we get tonight into the SkullSpace coffers and
cover the pizza myself.
I think we should prioritize the 'safety'-related upgrades before the
convenience ones. The GFIs in the kitchen, for example.
