+Millspaugh as a returning member, and lost Christine Prefontaine and

+January 23 we must, in addition to the forms completed thus far:
+
+- submit supporting statements and/or documentation of substantial local
+  presence in the geographical area covered by the local campaign and a
+  description of the programs, services, benefits, etc. provided by the
+  organization in calendar year 2014 and how those programs, services,
+  benefits, etc. affect human health and welfare of the target
+  population.
+- complete and submit a Pro Forma [IRS Form
+  990](http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f990.pdf). The following sections
+  must be completed: Page 1, Items A-M; Part I (Summary and Part II,
+  Signature Block), Lines 1-4 only; Part VII (Compensation section A
+  only); Part VIII (Statement of Revenues); Part IX (Statement of
+  Functional Expenses), and; Part XII (Financial Statements and
+  Reporting).

+We continue to have to dip into savings to pay our rent, so no dividend
+this month. :(
+
+### Secretary's Report

+No Report.
+

+
+#### Travis
+
+CNC will be running by end of the month. Prusa is running.
+

+
+No report.
+
+## [Project Awesome](:Category:Project_Awesome "wikilink") Reports
+
+### Project LASER
+
+No report. Hand-off required?
+
+### Project BYZANTIUM
+
+We're re-factoring the project. Slowly because we all have jobs now.
+
+### Project KITBUILD
+
+Nothing new to report. Still hoping to organize a kit build in concert
+with a Learn to Solder event sometime this spring.
+
+### Project SUPPLIES
+
+Ordered replacement extruder for Rostock Max. Also ordered 0.35mm nozzle
+for dramatically improved resolution.
+
+When finances become less strained, a Rev.7 PCB heater would be a nice
+addition. More even heating across the glass would reduce thermal stress
+and greatly improve adhesion.
+
+### Project EXPANSION
+
+Still conservative.
+
+### Project HAMRADIO
+
+Don has installed a 2 element 10m and a 160m dipole antenna. Don fitted
+a narrow (CW) filter in the main HF radio to improve narrow signal
+performance. We have participated in a number of on-air contests and
+contacted more than 100 countries.

+
+#### Lessons from Kamal Jain of Lowell Makes
+
+Met Kamal Jain from [Lowell Makes](http://lowellmakes.com/),
+Massachusetts hackerspace last month. Among other things, we discussed
+revenue/sponsor structures. Recently received email detailing these
+opportunities. In particular, we should look into
+[1](https://doublethedonation.com/blog/2014/08/donation-requests/).
+
+#### Shimmer
+
+HacDC server Shimmer is proving stable. Please contact me by email
+(directly or members@hacdc.org) for an account.
+
+#### RFID
+
+NetPLC boards and parts are in, so RFID system will be implemented soon.
+
+## Old Business
+
+## New Business
+
+### Cams
+
+Funding and installation of 'lights-on' cameras, and authorize BoD to
+examine other relevant footage (ie. hallway cams) to correlate
+incidents. Members' identities would not be recorded in any way not
+already documented (ie. hallway cam).
+
+This proposal is not a plan of action (ie. we may not need to buy cams),
+just a provision for future improvement.
+
+Approved the installation of camera. Funding and technical details to be
+revisited.
+
+### Dues Structure
+
+We may benefit from some sort of multi-level membership structure,
+perhaps particularly to ensure fair compensation for renting the office
+space.
+
+Needs to be discussed and revisited in a separate meeting.
+
+### Increase Dues by \$10 for one year
+
+Approved.
