Treasurer[]

Roughly neutral cash-flow for the month. Seven members paid prior to / at the meeting. With the $70/month insurance and one member moving to Albuqurque next month, expect cash-flow to start trending negative.

J. still needs ~$30 to cover costs on the work-benches. Suggested that the next project be funded up-front so he doesn't go out-of-pocket. The next project will be a long narrow table with storage shelving along the wall for the drill-press / chop saw / table saw area.
