We had a bunch of one-time donations in October which resulted in a surplus: $300 from Shana Kim, $200 from the family Christina Kalavritinos in memory of self-taught maker Ralph Ochsman, $100 from Christine Prefontaine (earmarked for Byzantium), donations to cover missed dues payments, and a wad of cash from the tip jar that had piled up in between trips to the bank (including about $100 from the Raspberry Pi workshop).

Because of the large one-time donations, I am able to declare a $1200 Project Awesome dividend and still put $250 away for our reserve. Since only one project has been proposed as of Oct 31st - Project LASER - it got 100% of the votes and money for October. | |||
I am disappointed that more projects haven't been proposed, but maybe this amount will get peoples' attention - if you had proposed and voted for your project you'd have at least $300 to spend on it.

We had a bunch of one-time donations in October which resulted in a surplus: $300 from Shana Kim, $200 from the family Christina Kalavritinos in memory of self-taught maker Ralph Ochsman, $100 from Christine Prefontaine (earmarked for Byzantium), donations to cover missed dues payments, and a wad of cash from the tip jar that had piled up in between trips to the bank (including about $100 from the Raspberry Pi workshop). As a result we had a $1558 surplus over expenses!
Project Awesome
Because of the large one-time donations, I am able to declare a $1200 Project Awesome dividend and still put $250 away for our reserve. Since only one project has been proposed as of Oct 31st - Project LASER - it got 100% of the votes and money for October.
I am disappointed that more projects haven't been proposed, but maybe this amount will get peoples' attention - if you had proposed and voted for your project you'd have at least $300 to spend on it. I don't know of any similar donations in the coming months but like the lottery, you can't win if you don't play.

Project LASER
Money building up but still shy of >$4000 for larger model. Should we try to raise money or just wait for PA funds to build up? Found a less expensive water cooler option at Rabbit Laser, avoids mess of tank under laser table: http://www.rabbitlaserusa.com/WebShop/Chillers.html --TimS
