- We missed the golden opportunity for valuable data during the past cold snap, but are proceeding with the installation to be prepared for this summer and next winter.
Membership Report
VP/CMO JamesM and Treasurer JimD continue to collaborate to confirm LVL1 membership. This is a trial reporting for the April financial Pike13 and Republic Bank records that show:
- Pike13 shows 2 members made a combined 5 overdue membership payments (5 x $65) against outstanding invoices for membership in prior months.
- Pike13 shows 60 members made on-time membership payments (60 x $65) on their current April invoices for their April memberships.
- Pike13 shows 3 members made a combined nine failed transaction attemting to pay their current April invoices that remain open.
- Republic Bank records show 25 varied [Pike13$ > RB$] deposits during April. These total $4,225, which divided by $65 = 65 individual memberships.
- A cash-paying member has fallen behind and has missed April and May payments (so far) and is soon at risk for cancellation.
- LVL1 has one current makership (for JoeT effective Mar/Apr/May).
Treasurer Report
The [Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr] progression of LVL1's monthly LG&E utility bill has trended up-and-down [$647, $960, $1208, $686] as we settle into the spring months between winter and summer. We have NET funds for current purchases including replacing the laser blower, 3D filament restocking, finding an RFID-compatible soda machine and other priorities. Here is the LVL1-FinancialSummary-202604.pdf with the following values:
- April 2026 REVENUE totaled $4,945.01.
- April 2026 EXPENSE totaled ($3,772.69).
- April 2026 NET was cash POSITIVE at ($1,172.32).
We have launched a trial to replace using the traditional two Republic Bank debit cards assigned to the Treasurer and President. Our past President KevinF did not want to have the card and the board authorized TiffB to be the second debit card holder. At this point (May 2026) our current President KevinC does not (yet?) have a card and TiffB continues to make use her card for weekly meeting and soda needs. The trial establishes a LVL1 RAMP.com account that enables the Treasurer to create virtual credit cards that can be assigned to a specific purchase for a specific member as needed. The trial RAMP.com setup is seen as more flexible an more secure that the legacy debit cards. Iinitial results in the first month of use are promissing.
So all know, the deadline for my filing LVL1's annual IRS 990-EZ information return was May 15. I fell behind in completing this filing by that due date. On May 13, two days before the deadline, I requested and was granted an automatic extension till Nov. 15, without penalty. Stay tuned for further updates as this filing will be completed before the extended deadline. It remains a related task to replace current spreadsheet-based accounting procedures with resumed QBO software-based accounting procedures and any offered help is welcomed.
