	* ~~Spring~~ cleaning ~~(but~~ not ~~gear cleaning) has begun~~. ~~Clean those springs!~~		* John wants to make sure that cleaning the space stays on the radar, and Tayeb will look for additional recycling options because Ft Totten is not currently accepting recycling.

	* ~~Discussing options for 3D~~ ~~printing if~~ people ~~are interested in aiding in the production of face shields~~. ~~Places are currently looking~~ for ~~face shields and not masks and hospitals usually will tell you what they are looking~~ for. There ~~was~~ a ~~coordinated organizing effort in Baltimore, but not any well~~-~~coordinated efforts close~~ to ~~home~~.		* Karen -- We want to host online activities at HacDC, to keep us active during the lockdown. Luis may be able to spearhead a "work simultaneously on a project with multiple people". Luis will work with John Pancoast to design a receiver for people to build for the foxhunt. There could also be a class online to set up an rtl-sdr as the receiver for a foxhunt
	* Capture the Flag is a ~~hope~~ for ~~the future but we~~ will ~~wait until we can talk~~ to ~~Tristan~~		* Matt to lead class on 3D printing. The first class can be a discussion of how to use your 3D printer to print PPE for use by hospitals. Matt will get in contact with local hospitals to assess need and requirements for helping
	* Tayeb will start the deep learning online course soon and ~~it will be managed entirely online this time, allowing more people to join~~

	Current balance is $~~5597~~. We are in the ~~black~~ for ~~the last two months because~~ we ~~haven't yet paid~~ rent ~~in April or March. We are net +3567 in April~~, ~~net +1000~~ in ~~March~~. ~~We currently have 19 dues paying members~~, and we ~~have lost two members (or at least frequent donaters) over~~ the ~~past month~~.		Current balance is $4700, including Paypal (so all of our assets). We have 19 paying members currently. As Don stated, we are far under and we may need to up the membership dues, even though they are already high. Dues alone only pay for half of our expenses.
			Once we pay June and May rent, we will have $1440 in our account.
	~~Matt~~ also ~~recommends doing a drive for PPE, offers to send email to members list~~		Karen notes that we’ve asked Mike about an easement on rent payments, and we are not seeing donations from people who would normally visit the space so the coronavirus is impacting our cash flow.
	~~Karen asks if we~~ have ~~a method~~ to ~~tell the difference between a one-time donation~~ and ~~a member. We want to~~ be ~~able to see if we are losing members when we make the case to the church that we're looking~~ for ~~a break on~~ the ~~rent~~		We also may still have $1500 in Facebook waiting to be transferred in donations, and there may be funds available for non-profits impacted by the shelter-in-place order.
