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.
Lockpicking Workshop[]
Fun was had by all. People were impressed with the professionalism of the presentation. We got some locks and picks donated to the group so we can all practice.
