  * Team meeting 2025-01-10
    Fine, but not needed on a regular basis, always possible for HST
     nd MM to meet

  * Outstanding charges to CVenues
    Four items where money owed, which we need to move to invoicing
    ASAP
    1) ENergy prices
       ACTION Henry: Ask Miranda where she kept the meter readings
         your were taking
       Write that off unless we find something real soon.
    2) Fire door, reconnected, bill charged to Hartley.
    3) Lift lady coming back, will ask invoice in advance.
    4) Original manufacturer is gone.  Blinds are built-in to the
        windowframe, so way to get them out is not obviously
        possible.  Keith Baxter thought, maybe, destructively.
       Two quotes, ~100/blind for 8, outside the existing frame.
       Other quote assumed someone would remove the existing blinds,
       300 each.
       Blackout blinds?  Two or three only OK?
       Get Keith to bill Hartley for 500 and draw a line.

  * Momentum
