[I didn't notice this til now -- don't read the discuss list much now,
and even though it was CCed to me, my mail filter tagged it as discuss
list and hid it from me]

Amount in accounts: $9662.63
Note: a $550 water bill (plus $50 deposit) is about to be paid, and
$3600 in rent in a week.

Why have our funds dropped so much?
We've received less membership dues in recent months.  In March and
April, we got $2548.68 and $3105.20 -- not enough to cover rent, let
alone power + garbage + internet.
Donations didn't close the gap much -- in March, we received $96.66
and in April, $631.
For May, to date we have received $30 in donations and $1306.66 in dues.

How much does it cost to operate Noisebridge each month?
$ 100.00 Internet
$ 176.88 Garbage collection
$ 320.00 Power (averaged estimate)
$  80.00 Water/sewer (averaged estimate)
$3600.00 Rent
Total: $4276.88 (not including costs of things like TP, or our annual
insurance payment)

How much have we been bringing in each month?
(difference from average monthly expense in brackets)
Feb: $8234.57 [$3957.69] ($4.9k in donations received -- much of it
google matching donation from 2009)
Mar: $2385.16 [-$1891.72]
Apr: $4108.48 [-$168.40]
May: $1336.66 [-$2940.22] (as of 5/17 -- at present rate, we'll be
around $1.7k short)

If we continue to lose ~$1k/month, we'll be out of cash in approx 6 to 9 months.
