• Financial Report — $16.00 in voluntary dues were collected tonight.
  
  We've spoken briefly with a CPA regarding LUGOD's tax extempt status with the state of California, and we may not need to register. Greg will follow up with her.
  
  Additionally, Henry House (our previous treasurer) is gathering all LUGOD financial material he has on hand, to provide to Greg FitzGerald (our current treasurer), so that we can generate a ledger that is as complete as possible. (Bill Kendrick, Greg and Henry already started that process.)
• "Sign Monkey" — Some people still end up at Explorit's main location on 2nd Street, and it was suggested that we ask if it's ok to put a sign up directing LUGOD attendees to the correct location on 5th Street. Bill Kendrick said it's a good idea, but we'd need to find someone who can do this for us (a "sign monkey"). If you'd like to volunteer, post a message to 'vox' or contact Bill: root@lugod.org.
• Becoming a UC Davis "Campus Affiliate Group" — No report.
• Explorit membership — No report.
