1) Jackson is reimbursed for cutting the April rent check for the LUNk House ($550).
2) $37.09 removed to pay electric bill.
3) Mike made a $100 payment toward April rent.
4) $18.50 were collected in donations after the movie tonight.
These total a net loss of $468.59, which reduces the total balance of the LUNk jar to $1386.10.
EDIT: $4.77 in donations were taken from the LUNk jar last night. These raise the balance to $1390.87.

When the Italians of the Alps used up the pine forests on the southern slopes, so carefully cherished on the northern slopes, they had no inkling that by doing so they were cutting at the roots of the dairy industry in their region; they had still less inkling that they were thereby depriving their mountain springs of water for the greater part of the year, and making it possible for them to pour still more furious torrents on the plains during the rainy seasons. Those who spread the potato in Europe were not aware that with these farinaceous tubers they were at the same time spreading scrofula. Thus at every step we are reminded that we by no means rule over nature like a conqueror over a foreign people, like someone standing outside nature – but that we, with flesh, blood and brain, belong to nature, and exist in its midst, and that all our mastery of it consists in the fact that we have the advantage over all other creatures of being able to learn its laws and apply them correctly." -- Engels, Dialectics of Nature

1) We decided at last night's meeting to add Don's $20 May Day contribution to our treasury, rather than offer reimbursement on in-kind donations toward the event.
2) I'm withdrawing $550 to reimburse myself for the May rent check on the House.
New balance is $1116.61.

1) I'm withdrawing $32.44 to be reimbursed for paying the electric bill for the House.
2) I'm making a new $56 donation.
These equal a net increase to the LUNk jar of $23.56, which raises the balance to $1140.17.

New donations:
1) Mike made a final $60 rent payment for staying one week into May.
2) I'm making a $100 donation.
3) $20.29 were taken from the donations box at the House.
These total $180.29 in new donations, which raise the balance of the LUNk jar to $1320.46.
