We have 42 dues-paying members in good standing, 8 dues-waived members, and 4 members who are behind on dues.
Project Awesome
Here is the Project Awesome spreadsheet for June: File:HacDC PA Projects-2014 06.pdf. We continue to have to dip into savings to pay our rent, so no dividend this month. :(

Presidential Suggestion: We have specific projects which get stuff done and we get recognition for. HARC is one such project. It's worth spending a small amount of space to setup a permanent HARC table in the classroom. We are not wasting space, we are spending it wisely on a project that we value.
