*November - a big Babac order put us in the red, no grant money came in. December - the opposite. (but a lot of that grant money is committed to particular stuff-- it shows as revenue, but we should really show the corresponding program expense, since it's dedicated to stuff that also wasn't in the budget.) | *November - a big Babac order put us in the red, no grant money came in.

*How is Paul finding his job? --Has monthly duties written down, believe he understands relatively well except some things written down to ask Neil tonight. Will swing by both shops in next day or two to pick up monies in the safe ... Duncan-- in future could you draw out the important stuff in bullet points as part of your report? Paul-- of course. Anna-- can we do anything for you? Paul --no I'm fine, but I can be a procrastinator, especially when I don't understand things. You will get monthly reports, with bullet points highlighting important points. Anna-- acknowledges that no one wanted to take over Treasurer, so thanks! Neil-- you might want some help with cash handling come the summer. Paul-- thanks, I have appreciated Neil and Chris's assistance and patience. | *How is Paul finding his job? --Has monthly duties written down, believe he understands relatively well except some things written down to ask Neil tonight.

*Anna: at work, I'm helping community leagues set up "Ride to Survive" (hate that name) classes. Offered on a demand basis, so we'd have to do more promotion at the League level. Chris: I still have some money I'm sitting on for adult education, we should work together on that. Community Services might be a good way to go rather than Sustainable Transportation. | *Anna: at work, I'm helping community leagues set up "Ride to Survive" (hate that name) classes.

*She asks us about doing something celebratory for volunteers. Maybe roll it in with the Spring bike/bake sale? Yes, people like this idea. Lee-- it should be at the shop. House parties in the past have not been well-attended by volunteers. Yes, people say, and make it the North. That's April 27th, folks! We need someone to bottom-line that ... Lee is interested, Anna if she's not the only one, Micah except there'll be finals, Duncan's down with being there for the day. ACTION: Anna, Lee, and Micah form an ad hoc committee on that. | *She asks us about doing something celebratory for volunteers. Maybe roll it in with the Spring bike/bake sale?

*Anna: has Duncan worked closely with Old Scona CL recently? Because the city has a fairly unheard-og grant called neighborhood engagement strategy or something ... they want to have CLs reach out to local groups to ... engage a community. This could be an opportunity for EBC. One group was allocated $30,000. Anna can send info to Duncan, but it must be done through the league. ACTION: Anna will send this info to Duncan. | *Anna: has Duncan worked closely with Old Scona CL recently?
