Standing Committee Reports (Outlined in p. 3 of Standing Rules)

(10 min) Financial - Zach S.

Update from Zach:

• Financial update (a bit confusing)
  • Current assets - $1175 (good)
  • Last month we had a net loss of $858 (bad!) Membership was down from $1637 in October to $1013 in November. Larry and I believe that there are memberships outstanding that we need to collect on. We were kept alive by a pledged donation that cleared in to our account in early December (and so is not reflected in November numbers)
  • Detailed November P&L at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/196w9neC-592MXWOXLnBnivTddqfJtx5Bg4fQC8MyzjU/edit?usp=sharing (in that folder are October and September as well for comparison)
• Larry is now a signer on the TCF account along with Zach (we removed Dana as she is no longer on the board)
• Could not find evidence of AMF Nano payments in TCF transaction history
• Can staff keep track of when they pull money out of the register to buy everyday things (towels, toilet paper, etc)? That way we can have a better idea of our actual costs and keep better track of money in the register. Receipts somewhere would be ideal, an email could also work.

Things that were here when Zach started editing:

• Review report posted in Temporary Folder (none filed this month)
