Our current balance breaks down as follows:

$3,810.06   Savings account earning 1.25% interest annually

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

                         Cash                                    Stock
                     ---------                                ---------
                      $149.40                                  $162.10

We had three new members in March (khyung, lisalj and nraj).  We are 
currently at 90 members, 88 of whom are paid through at least April 15th.  
(The others expired recently and are in a grace period.)

Notes:

- We refunded $6 to a user whose membership was revoked when it became 
apparent that the ID he/she submitted had been stolen.

- Otherwise, March was a decent month.  I'd like to see the member count
a little higher, but th cash flow has been fine.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in March:

bruin, dpc, ea, janc, jasonash, jplatt, khyung, kintar, lisalj, mooncat, 
nraj, premedic, robh, srw, and witling.

Thanks everyone!

I have never heard of such a person.  Do you know what userid or login he 
used here?

No, it was donations.  $1 came from user "premedic", and the rest came from
an anonymous donor, who gave money as a thank-you for Grex becoming 501(c)3.

Hm.  Maybe everyone is paying income taxes instead.  How does
this April compare with the last couple of Aprils?

maybe something to do with expected tax refunds and unemployment?
