Martin finished the 3rd floor intercom system and we got a big $2191 rent credit from the church - thanks Martin!!! We should sack some of that away in the reserve but can spend some - I think Martin should get a big say due to all his hard work. | Martin finished the 3rd floor intercom system and we got a big $2191 rent credit from the church - thanks Martin!!!

Here is the November 2011 financial summary: File:HacDC Financials Nov 2011.pdf
We finished November $200 ahead. We should be clearing expenses on membership dues alone at this point but we had a rash of non-payments (due to PayPal problems?). We added members Mike Chelen and Nadir Abdulhaqq and reinstated Alan McCosh, and lost no one! Getting donations from Design Class, thanks to Emily!
Martin finished the 3rd floor intercom system and we got a big $2191 rent credit from the church - thanks Martin!!! We should sack some of that away in the reserve but can spend some - I think Martin should get a big say due to all his hard work.
Might put some money towards a laser cutter!
