The money is distributed like this:

$1,138.72   Checking account
$3,376.40   Savings account earning 0.55% interest annually

We had no new members in April.  We are currently at 81 members, 73 of 
whom are paid through at least May 15th.  (The others expired recently 
and are in a grace period.)

Notes:

- April is traditionally Grex's worst month, so I wasn't too surprised 
at the lack of income.  However, since 2002 the months between April 
through September have almost all had us in the red.  Here's hoping 
that trend is discontinued this year.

- Grex received confirmation from the IRS that our 501(c)3 status is 
current and active.  There was a period when it was "on hold" because 
they had an old address for us, and as a result we failed to respond to 
a communication they sent us.  Donations during that period are still 
tax-deductible, as, of course, are donations in the future.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in April:

janc, witling, ajax, chanur, and one person who hasn't provided a 
login name yet.

If you or your institution would like to become a member of Grex, it 
only costs $6/month or $60/year.  Send money to:

Cyberspace Communications
P. O. Box 4432
Ann Arbor, MI 48106-4432

If you pay by cash or money order, please include a photocopy of some 
form of ID.  I can't add you to the rolls without ID.  (If you pay 
with a personal check that has your name pre-printed on it, we 
consider that a good enough ID.)  Type !support or see
