	As has been mentioned before, we continue to have regular membership cover about 3/4 of the rent, and we have had several donations over the past month to cover the rest. The church has raised the rent from $1343 to $1579, putting us in a little tighter position, however we still enough funding to continue paying rent for many months to come. We lost one member, and no longer have the extra membership dues from the people who were paying back-dues from last year.

			In concurrence with the president, we are considering a new membership/donation tier. We are also set to file taxes to maintain our status as a 501c3 coming this March.

President's Report

	=== President's Report ===		=== President's Report ===
			State of HacDC - last meeting before the annual bod election meeting
			Rent is now 1591/month as long as we clear out half of the basement
			Fundraising is top of mind
			Kevin, Ken, Dave and Karen visited Robert Meins at Dupont Underground who is interested in partnering with HacDC on events and possibly helping with his tech needs
			Karen's pipe dream: if he is able to stay in the space beyond this year (he has a balloon payment coming up on his lease with the city) HacDC might be able to relocate there. Potential issues (besides tenancy) are hvac, access (number of doors) and 'facilities'
			First up - another tour, plus organizing movie night
			Karen is looking into a license to show a movie publicly; if too expensive, we'll look into a public domain movie like From the Earth to the Moon or Metropolis

			Gofundme campaign - please share on your facebook pages

			New member type discussion:
			Example: Unallocated Space: basic, no key, some storage, WiFi, $25/month
			For HacDC - no key, some storage, private wifi, can still vote but not a meetup organizer

			Meetup idea - silk screen workshop (TBD) with Dan

			State of 3d printers
			Upgraded firmware of Taz - things better, however, the movement of the z axis is still not quite right, still working on mapping for distance X and Y may need work but much better than the Z

			Kevin and Ken attended the PSA 702 community outreach meeting
			Contact is ANC member Brenda Richardson who has confirmed a technology demo with Ken
			2455 Alabama Ave. SE, Tuesday March 12 9.30 am to set up, tear down around 5pm (before monthly member meeting back at HacDC)
			Demo is 11.30 - 2 - 3d printing, VR headsets, A/R, voice controlled robot, possibly brain-computer interface
			Will run concurrently different stations all at one time
			Room is small - could be a challenge with VR headsets but we'll see
			Purpose is to spark some community partnerships to make new technology available to local kids

			IRC Bot hosted by ITechGeek - Kevin will take control if he receives info on taking control. Failing that, it's not being used so the suggestion is to kill it.

			Outgoing process

			Dumpster in parking lot now, general trash should go in there now
			E-recycling this weekend - members will arrive around 10am Saturday to start clearing out the basement.
			We can stack things on the 16th Street side
			Members should claim/clear out their items
			HacDC does not plan to toss tools, items labeled with names of current members, or items that are considered valuable by consensus

			Video cameras for the space - tabled for after the clean up
