at 66 members, 47 of whom are paid through at least January 15th.  (The
others expired recently and are in a grace period.)

Notes:

- This should be our last personal property tax payment to the City of Ann
Arbor.  Grex moved its equipment out of Ann Arbor last February.

- Our domains are now paid through January of 2007.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in December:

acer, dpc, garrigan, keesan, robh, tod, vortayne, and witling.  Thanks!

We recived a personal property tax form from the City of Ann Arbor for 2005,
so I wrote to Mike Courtney in the Assessor's Office.  He was the one who
was so helpful to us back in 2001, when we first were required to pay taxes.

I explained that Grex had moved all of its equipment out of Ann Arbor, and
he deleted us from the tax rolls, with no fuss at all.  Very painless!

The next question being whether Ypsi (or whatever municipality Grex is
currently actually housed in) has personal property taxes ...
