Did not add to the tool or maintenance funds because we were not net positive.
Remember: Our 3 month rent buffer in the bylaws is $4682.55.
Because of moving and life events and fun stuff like that, we've lost a few full members in the past 3 months, but gained a few associate members (yay!). We'll need to add at least 4 full members or at least 8 associate members, plus figure out a way to get everyone to pay dues on time to get to breaking even.
Secretary
- Active Membership tally as of 5/05/15:
- Student Members: 2
- Associate Members: 9 (up by 3 since February)
- Full Members: 22
- Active members are defined as members who have paid their dues within the last 3 months and have not actively resigned their membership.
In the past we've gotten members by people finding us on Meetup, seeing us out at events and by word of mouth. We just need to keep doing cool stuff! Post your projects, tweet to @splat_space on Twitter, join the Flickr group pool and remember to RSVP to events you're already going to on Meetup, because this attracts more people.
