Reports

ASS Report

Vagrant: things have been difficult, and we've been busy.

Free Geek Gresham

Budget

Richard

doesn't have as much detail as he'd planned. Bank has been in transition, they've made some errors which slow us down. Alana (?) who has bookkeeping experience will be coming in to help Richard. So, better numbers by next month.

We've paid down all but $3000 of debt to a recycler we're moving away from (Total Reclaim?)

Jan and Feb have been good. About $16,000 March so far from front desk and thrift store.

Marie: Has the $10k reserve been dipped into?
Richard: Not intentionally. It has occasionally been accessed for technical reasons related to bank errors, but immediately replenished.
