Treasurer's Report by Greg Leitner
The August meeting was very low-key and not many members were present. I hope the reason for such a low turnout is just because of the summer months and people want to do outdoor things with their families. When the fall and winter months come, I hope our numbers will increase.
The members that do show up have really supported the Club through the lean months. Our August meeting took in $67.00 which included two memberships and software sales. Our expenses for August were the third quarter rental and the newsletter expenses. We ended up with a bank balance of $607.98 at month end which is about $35.00 less than the July balance. Not bad considering only a handful of members are supporting the Club.
Please try to make the future meetings as everyone's support and input is greatly needed and appreciated.
From The EDITOR:
The phone line for the BBS still seems to be in need of repair. At the last meeting, Glen Kirschenmann relayed that there was a problem with the lines. The phone company was to have been there the week after the meeting, hopefully to make repairs. Well, for the past couple of weeks there has been a recording, and just lately I have been getting a busy signal. So if anybody had articles to upload for the newsletter, they will have to call me and transfer the file directly to me. For those without a modem, there is always the mail, it's still getting through, just give me a call, my numbers on the back.

Jose Chavez, 24, had an interesting way of verifying that a skull he had found in a garbage can in Lennox, Calif., was human: "I bit it on the neck to make sure it was real. That's how you test things."
Said one of five Southern Califorina graffiti vandels, who call themselves "artists" and who were arrested, in San Francisco: "We came here to contribute something to this town, and we end up in jail." Said a police spokesman, "They drove (more than 300 miles) to spray paint the city. That's a long drive just to be a jerk.
