## President's Report
|
||
|
|
||
|
Not present.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Vice President's Report
|
||
|
|

Has some ideas for events and stuff to be mentioned later.
|
||

XLaser mentioned the would send us another package of laser stuff, but
|
||

## Treasurer's Report
|
||
|
|
||
|
Currently have 59 voting members so quorum is still 14 for now.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for Jan 2012:
|
||
|
![<file:HacDC_Financials_Jan_2012.pdf>](HacDC_Financials_Jan_2012.pdf "file:HacDC_Financials_Jan_2012.pdf")
|
||
|
|
||
|
We added members Scott Robbins and Stephen Nichols in January. Vince was
|
||
|
voted in but has not paid yet as far as I know - please contact me if
|
||
|
this is incorrect! And we added three other membership subscriptions
|
||
|
(Chalk, Hughes, and Myers) but have not voted on them as members yet as
|
||
|
well - maybe this month? Two non-paying members, one hasn't responded
|
||
|
and may be dropping.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We finished January almost \$500 ahead and membership revenue is now \>=
|
||
|
expenses! If this keeps up, HacDC will have some resources to put into
|
||
|
projects again going forward.
|
||
|
|
||
