Treasurer's Report

  • When Coinbase hits $400 we're pulling the money out of that. $458.00 at present.
  • Jeffrey Dahn gave $15
  • Changing the reporting schedule from "meeting-to-meeting" to "1st-of-month-to-1st-of-month". This means the current report is a few days short.
  • In cooperation with MoCo Makers / DMV Petri Dish, money was won at the Hack for NF - Children's Tumor Foundation, some of which was donated (we think) to HacDC.
