Business Expenses
Every organization has costs to run, and we keep ours as low as possible. These include:
Incorporation Fees ($100/year)
Upgrades for free tools like Gmail and Google Calendar ($8/month per user)
PO Box Rental ($60/year)
So far, our founding members have paid these costs.
We are a fully volunteer group. No staff are paid, and never will be.

Printing, signs, and mailings to share hard copies (costly)
