## Treasurer's Report
|
|
|
|
Currently have 59 voting members so quorum is still 14 for now.
|
|
|
|
Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for Jan 2012:
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Secretary's Report
