>> Elizabeth asked about the nature of the banking fees.  Dan will 
>> investigate and report back to the group via email.

The $6.70 in banking fees are from PayPal, which always charges annoyingly
high fees for each transaction.

Dan's report could be said a slightly different way: the only one
transaction of note that occurred since the previous month was one advance
registration for Evergreen Conference 2013, which was $190.33 in Unearned
Income and $6.70 in the PayPal fees.

They'll be a lot of transactions like this once the conference date gets
sooner. :)


BTW, one thing that I didn't see mentioned in the conference report:
Tony is negotiating with EventBrite to get their registration fees waived in
exchange for a sponsorship.  It won't help us with the PayPal fees, but
EventBrite fees last time were $876.75, so we're looking to offer EventBrite
a sponsorship of roughly a $1,000 value to avoid those fees.


Finally, I saw there was plenty in the minutes for Tony -- trademark and
stuff related to the hosting of the proprietary-systems import info.  I hope
no one minds, I bounced Tony a copy of the minutes so he's up to speed on
both those topics.
