Director Reports

Treasurer's Report

Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for December 2013: File:HacDC Financials 2013 12.pdf. One prospective member (not yet voted in) has started paying dues. Longtime member and generous contributor Tim Collins has resigned his membership. Several members haven't paid their dues for a couple of months, and since they've been unresponsive over e-mail it's unclear whether they intend to resign.

Project Awesome

Here is the Project Awesome spreadsheet for December: File:HacDC PA Projects-2013 12.pdf. I'm able to declare a $200 dividend and add $132.29 to our un-earmarked reserves. There were 16 votes, unchanged from the previous month.

Project Awesome Reports

Project SUPPLIES

Healthy and stable at ~$1.4k.

Recent Purchases

• Glass sheets for Prusa Mendel.

Project EXPANSION

Only $145 after two months. At this rate, it will take another three months to buy a vertical bandsaw.

If you are holding one of the 3.783 votes for SUPPLIES, please consider voting for EXPANSION instead.

Old Business

From December agenda

• Zach purchased materials for basement shelves, and should now be reimbursed up to $400 (exact receipt value is not known to mirage335).
• Approving another $75 will allow wheels to be added to the shelves. That is not to say the wheels will be added just because their budget was approved.
• Katie proposes we allocate $100 for our traditional holiday gift to the security guard. Update (Dec. 22): ITG has provided the $100 gift to the guard; this proposal includes reimbursing him.

Shelves

$600 for shelves to mirage.

• Quorum not met, could not vote.
