Treasurer's Report

Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for April 2012: File:HacDC Financials Apr 2012.pdf

We now have 62 paying members and quorum is 15.

The Church didn't deposit our rent check for April (why TBD), but ignoring that we had an $800 surplus in April. This includes a one-time cash donation of $200 for microcontroller boards that were purchased with HacDC funds some time ago.

A tripod for the video recording setup approved two months ago was purchased.

I got all the gear I ordered for the event video recording setup. I talked to Church Brian and the custodian about storing the gear in the mop closet which is on a different key than the front door - we would need to make more keys and give them to the presenters as classes commence. Microphone still needs to be purchased pending tests of our wireless mic with the camera.

Our booth at the 2012 USA Science & Engineering Festival was a success and showed off the diverse interests of the HacDC members well, I think. We gave out almost 1200 Dum Dum lolipops and probably around 100 plotter portraits ("Mug Plots"). The Doctor was an indefatigable booth relations machine, doing an awesome job of explaining Byzantium and HacDC in general to the stream of passers-by. Thanks to everyone who worked the booth, and especially to Martin, The Doctor, and Shawn "ag4ve" Wilson for helping with setup and takedown of my gear. Also thanks to Mark Adams for designing and printing 1500 HacDC postcards that we should be able to use for many events to come.
