	Thanks to fewer delinquent members and an unexpected grant from the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia, we had a healthy surplus this month, so I am declaring a $1000 Project Awesome dividend, which leaves us with $1,481.74 to add to our unearmarked reserves. Here is the Project Awesome spreadsheet for August: File:HacDC PA Projects-2013 08.pdf. There are currently 15 votes.
