Sheila confessed that she didn't get out the current report in time for the meeting, but that it was little changed from December's report.
Bill, Mike and Sheila are still working on getting a report from the bookkeeper that will give us the report we want.
Related: Sheila reported that the DCN office is packed and ready to transfer to a corner of Omsoft.
Rob reported that he's working with Derrick of DMA to get the last equipment transferred out. There are some electrical issues to resolve. Rob is checking on when the lease expires. Rob thinks expiration may be this year.
