Ending Balance        $5,578.60

Our balance as of 6/30 breaks down as follows:

$5,102.83               General Fund
  $139.86               Silly Hat Fund

  $255.91               TOP sponsorship fund
   $20.00               Refrigerator magnet fund

There was no activity in the Grex Store this month, so the balances remain at:

                         Cash                                    Stock
                     ---------                                ---------
                      ($46.60)                                 $301.60

We had 7 new members (sap2000, colin, avstr, stacie, yus97, god9, ahab) 
and no returning members in June.  We are currently at approximately
120 members, 103 of whom are paid through at least July 15th.  (The rest 
expired recently and are in a grace period.)

Notes:

    - We had a couple of debits related to the auction this month.  One was
      for an item which was never delivered.  The auctioneers couldn't get
      ahold of the donator, so the money was refunded.  The other was for
      shipping costs.  The purchaser sent me money to cover the shipping
      costs, and I reimbursed the donator when it was shipped.  
    - Our yearly renter's insurance premium was paid this month.  
    - Note that we managed to exceed our minimum credit card fee of $35 
      in May for CardService.  Looks like we're going to do it again (not by
      much) in June.  
    - I did finally manage to get Merchants Online (aka Charge Solutions) to
      admit that they're charging us wrong.  So we'll get a $25 credit on our
      next three months fee there, and after that the new charging method 
      will take over.  The credit doesn't show up here, but will in the July
      report. 

Thanks to everyone who contributed in June:
sap2000, knassen, brighn, gypsi, jiffer, valerie, colin,
avstr, jep, bruin, satindra, stacie, yus97, kaplan, janc,
flem, crhouck, danr, god9, and ahab

Thanks everyone!

Also, do we have a concise record of pledges for TOP and the magnets, along
with who has paid?

  I mailed my $20.00 magnet pledge directly to Ken.  It should reach him
  when he returns.

re resp:2 -- I do.  I'm a little reluctant to post publicly who has paid
and who hasn't.  I suppose I could post a summary of who pledged what, since
all of that information is in some public place anyway.  Would anyone find that
useful?

Re 2,6: As long as you're keeping tabs, Greg, I think that's good enough.
