Amanda has expressed frustration with the current state of the station and her duties. Issues that have arisen as of late:

  • Haven’t started any fundraising from the consultant.

  • More volunteers, but more management of the volunteers

  • Social media (amanda creates posts to vivian to post)

  • Fielding a lot of tech help
