Board Reports

President's Report

• No report.

Treasurer's Report

• We're still working on getting our new bank info synched with our accounting software. This is a time consuming process, so we don't have a monthly report yet.
• We're now keeping track of individual members as contacts in the accounting software, as opposed to one giant spreadsheet
• We have around $30k in the bank right now, and can afford equipment upgrades, if anyone has any ideas
• We've gotten a few new members recently, which has helped with dues income

Secretary's Report

• Sewing machine purchase: seems like we'll be getting a Singer Heavy Duty and spending the remaining on the nicest industrial machine we can get. January is a good time for sales usually.

Directors-at-Large's Report

• No report.
