	Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for June 2012: [[File:HacDC_Financials_2012_06.pdf]] Debits from our rent checks have finally hit so our balance is back to normal. We have four months' expenses in reserve not counting the money earmarked for special projects.		Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for June 2012: [[File:HacDC_Financials_2012_06.pdf]] Debits from our rent checks have finally hit so our balance is back to normal. We have four months' expenses in reserve not counting the money earmarked for special projects.

	Maybe it is the heat, but we had five non-paying members in June and also lost two members (Scott Robbins and Daniel Ternes), while adding no members. There are ~~three~~ other members who ~~are~~ dropping ~~(or will be dropped due to non-payment)~~ in July so net income will be reduced going forward until we pick up some new members. Our expenses are running $2750/mo which is 55 members, not counting the generous additional donations we continue to receive from some members.		Maybe it is the heat, but we had five non-paying members in June and also lost two members (Scott Robbins and Daniel Ternes), while adding no members. There are 2-5 other members who may be dropping in July so net income will be reduced going forward until we pick up some new members. Our expenses are running $2750/mo which is 55 members, not counting the generous additional donations we continue to receive from some members. Adjusting for the rent payments we netted ~$300 in June, which is about what we are getting in additional member donations.

			Quorum is 14 right now considering the two members who have already dropped in July.

			I met with our insurance agent and underwriter at the space. They thought we were mis-characterized as an office-style non-profit in our original policy. The underwriter said we sounded more like a community educational group and there shouldn't be a problem getting a new policy, but I haven't heard back with more details. They were very concerned about woodworking and sawdust, which is a big fire risk.
