====Financial Report for November 2011==== | ====Financial Report for November 2011==== | ||
The month ran remarkably close to the expected budget, so I don't think there's much to be said about it. The only item that stands out is a substantial negative ($1500) in the cash over/under. This is the first month I've completed a physical cash count since the end of August - numbers between now and then are all from the cash sheet, and the over/under number came from the daily count, usually done by Alex. There had been a substantial positive ($1300) in September, and I suspect that at some point, someone triggered the "move money to safe" function, but didn't actually move any money, resulting in a double count that wasn't caught and corrected until now. I don't think we've been robbed. | The month ran remarkably close to the expected budget, so I don't think there's much to be said about it.

Should we encourage people to contact their Member of Parliament about this issue? | ||
* Questions raised over whether this really is of any concern for the Executive or EBC in general, since we do not actively encourage infringements of such a kind, and that we are not an American website. Motion passed 7-4 however, as the blackout is only for a half-day and members seem to suggest that this will show solidarity with all other persons or groups who believe the internet shall remain 'open & free' of such restrictions. | |||
ACTION: James will facilitate a complete black-out of Edmontonbikes.ca on Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 from 6am through 6pm MST; in solidarity with reddit. We will NOT encourage people to contact their Member of Parliament. | |||

NORTH LOCATION | |||
Future/Possible/Probable EBC Bikeworks/SPOKE North Location... | |||
- The SPOKE program is complicating our own wish for a Bikeworks North Location, even though we support it. | |||
- SPOKE Leader Kris has proposed a Shipping Container as an innovative & edgy home, as befitting a program for persons who may feel out of place in a more traditional community league or school setting. | |||
- Rentable space at 111 Avenue & 93rd Street already seen by at least one board member. Rent will be between | |||
$1500.oo & 1800.oo/ month depending on whether we require additional services, such as snow removal, or not. | |||
All Executive Board members encouraged to review this space for themselves en mass very soon. | |||
- The AB Cycle Building on 118 Ave may still be a possibility but there has been a long wait. | |||
- Bill Rees YMCA also mentioned as 'contender' for future SPOKE space | |||
UPCOMING EVENT | |||
