                        $153.95

Ending Balance        $4,304.82

Our current balance breaks down as follows:

$4,129.45               General Fund
  $175.37               Silly Hat Fund

The money is distributed like this:

$2,399.91   Checking account
$1,904.91   Savings account earning 0.65% interest annually

We had 1 new member in March (c3067692).  We are currently at 60 members, 
39 of whom are paid through at least April 15th.  (The others expired 
recently and are in a grace period.)

Notes:

- Our masic cost per phone line went up by $2 per line this month.  That's 
the first increase in a long time.  Since we have only 2 lines, it's not a 
big deal.

- Overall, it was a good month for Grex.  I've started sending renewal 
reminders to alternative email addresses, rather than just to Grex 
addresses, in hopes of reaching more people.  I wish I had an automated 
system to do that.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in March:

arabella, arthurp, boaa, c3067692, charcat, i, naftee, pengo, witling, and 
wlevak.

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.  We 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 
http://www.cyberspace.org/member.html for more info.

My phone bills went up $1.25/month plus 62 cents for half the previous
month (retroactively), which I hope is what happened to the grex phone bills
too.

Yup, that's it.  I overstated when I said $2 per line.  Looks like it's a
$2.87 increase for both lines, after taxes.
