We were about $100 behind in August despite adding some members - now at 46 paying members. We gained two (soon to be) members (Sean Rutledge and Bill Babson), lost one member (Micheal Epstein) and had one non-paying member who will be dropped next month.


I cancelled our QuickBooks Online subscription after dumping all the data to printouts.  The spreadsheets I am maintaining should cover what we need for tax reporting.

We were about $100 behind in August despite adding some members - now at 46 paying members. We gained two (soon to be) members (Sean Rutledge and Bill Babson), lost one member (Micheal Epstein) and had one non-paying member who will be dropped next month.

I cancelled our QuickBooks Online subscription after dumping all the data to printouts. The spreadsheets I am maintaining should cover what we need for tax reporting.

We paid a $20 chargeback fee because a (now former) member decided to get his July 2011 dues payment back from the credit card company instead of contacting us and asking for a refund or replying to the emails I sent. If you need to cancel your membership or have any questions about your payments, please contact me ([email protected]) or any of the officers and let us know. Please don't contest the charges or file a dispute with PayPal without talking to us first!

I (re)applied to Google Grants and we were accepted this time! We now have an AdWords account with a $329 daily advertising budget. I created a sample ad but we could do a lot more with this - specific ads targeting projects and classes. Does somebody want to manage this?

We can also get other Google benefits including a YouTube channel and a Google Apps account. Applications are in progress and input is welcome, but we are looking at giving HacDC Apps accounts as a member benefit and moving mailing lists over to Google Groups (so individual members could set up their own mailing lists).
