### Current Practices

- manually updated rolling (first day listed is today) sidebar calendar on [https://ridgewoodcommons.nyc/](https://ridgewoodcommons.nyc/)
- effort to post weekly calendar poster to community announcement chat / IG
- using withfriends for event RSVPs to free events to present opportunity for donor conversion.

### Upcoming

- Online non-google collaborative schedule/calendar prototype

For posterity/other groups: Makes me think tiers are not optimal bc of big drop from $25 to $50 tier. (~LP)  
Adding arbitrary donations to tiers such that you can sub as a Rent Contributor but then **more** would maybe be optimal. Maybe worth talking to Withfriends about this.

Membership jumped up, plateaued, bumped again, plateaued  
Hard to say why, but would be good to keep a solid posting schedule and review

### Other Thoughts

- Need for dedicated "comms" group to handle 
    - Collection and confirmation of events from disparate groups and individuals
    - Very regular social posting: week schedule, day-of stories/posts 
        - Using submitted posters, bespoke graphics work, or using existing tools (with feedback/improvement cycle)
        - IG, bluesky, withfriends, nonsense, cal.red, etc.
    - Social question/comment/message followup
    - More standardized copy for various calls to action re: in-space signage, membership calls, socials, lists, etc.
- Need for additional person(s) to help with 
    - DevOps / infrastructure management and research 
        - Hosting
        - SSO
        - Integrations
    - Analytics/reporting
