                   ------------
                       $1121.97

Ending Balance        $5,067.85

Our balance as of 9/30 breaks down as follows:

$4,906.28               General Fund
  $139.86               Silly Hat Fund
   $60.00               Spare Parts Fund
  ($39.09)              TOP sponsorship fund

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

                         Cash                                    Stock
                     ---------                                ---------
                      ($26.60)                                 $281.60

We had 4 new members (lethe, mrstront, grace, and dhoffman) and no
returning members in September.  

Notes:

    - we had another chargeback in September, for $112.69.  The funny number 
      is partly because of discount (small percentage that CardService 
      charges per payment) and partly, I think, because of fluctuations in 
      the relative value of the British pound.
    - The large credit card fees this month reflect the trouble in August
      that I described a while ago.  The story is not yet over...
    - Much thanks to krj for his work on, not to mention his contributions 
      to, the magnet fund.  

Thanks to everyone who contributed in September:
bruin, coyote, dhoffman, flem, goose, grace, lethe, mrstront,
quail, satindra


Thanks everyone!

This is usually a slow time of year.
