The rest of the Treasurer report for this month is pending (Ryan getting time to finish it).

Donations: Thank you to everyone who donates your time and effort to keeping SplatSpace going.  In particular, Raptorcorns who have led one of our recent knowledge sharing workshops, and our soon-to-be-departing, invaluable, and amazing workshop organizer Brittney M.
+
 
+
Note: for some reason our automated bill payment sent our property manager Griffin Associates two payments for rent on September 26th (for $2472 each time), which explains the significant drop in our account balance from last month.
+
 
+
My special thanks to our anonymous benefactor for their significant, eleemosynary support of $5000 via Fidelity Charitable in August.  What a tremendous gift!  I'm ecstatic that we have such support, and that our supporter feels so motivated to contribute to our community and efforts.  I'm looking forward to discovering what we'll do together over the next year!
