Ending Balance        $5,432.24

Our current balance breaks down as follows:

$4,195.24               General Fund
  $153.00               Silly Hat Fund
   $60.00               Spare Parts Fund
$1,024.00               Infrastructure Fund

The money is distributed like this:

$1,080.41   Checking account
$4,351.83   Savings account earning approximately 0.75% interest annually

We had two new members (frisk and ranun) in February.  We are currently at 
82 members, 78 of whom are paid through at least March 15th.  (The 
others expired recently and are in a grace period.)

Notes:

- We paid $23.90 to Dotster in January for registering grex.org, but I 
forgot to record it then.  We also got a mysterious "check card rebate" 
for $3.19, two days after we paid Dotster.  I'm not sure if they are 
connected, but I'm assuming they are.

- The Silly Hat Fund had been stuck at $152.99 for a long time, so an 
anonymous donor gave a penny to bring it up to an even dollar amount.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in February:

ah3133, arthurp, bmoran, bruin, chanur, dpfitzen, flem, frisk, glenda, 
keesan, mudlark, polygon, raheim, ranun, steve, and one person who asked 
to remain anonymous.

Thanks everyone!

referral code that will get Grex a $25 bonus for opening an account)

We received a statement from the city saying that they had processed the
personal property statement which we submitted in January, and that the
taxable value of our personal property has dropped from $2200 ro $1400,
which is about what we expected based on te values STeve gave our items. 
So our tax should drop to about $85 this year.
