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.

We have launched a trial to replace using the traditional two Republic Bank debit cards assigned to the Treasurer and PresidentOur 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.
The trial LVL1 RAMP.com account is working well to enable the Treasurer to create virtual credit cards that can be assigned to a specific purchase for a specific member as needed.  It's use will be expanded in the coming month to facilitate procurement of the major portions of the recent Kentucky Colonel grant (two Bambu 3D printers, one Grizzly wood planer and one metal shop plasma torch
 
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.
