+
+We added members Scott Robbins and Stephen Nichols in January. Vince was
+voted in but has not paid yet as far as I know - please contact me if
+this is incorrect! And we added three other membership subscriptions
+(Chalk, Hughes, and Myers) but have not voted on them as members yet as
+well - maybe this month? Two non-paying members, one hasn't responded
+and may be dropping.
+
+We finished January almost \$500 ahead and membership revenue is now \>=
+expenses! If this keeps up, HacDC will have some resources to put into
+projects again going forward.

+objects at the Smithsonian, turn them into 3d models, and print them out
+with the printers at the space.
