Financial Reports as of June 30, 2021 can be found at:
http://iagenweb.org/state/friends_of_iagenweb-operations/

Our asset balance (bank plus PayPal accounts) as of June 30, 2021 is
$19,161.28, an increase of $102.18 over the starting balance on January
1, 2021. Year-to date income (donations) increased $428.74 over the
corresponding period last year.  Year-to-date expenses increased $49.29
over the preceding period (mostly because tax must now be paid on server fees).
Our asset balance increased by $1,737.53 during the 12 months ending
June 30, 2021.

In the January 2021 meeting the directors authorized up to $600.00 for
the annual renewal of the InMotion server from March 25, 2021 to March 25, 2022. 
$583.07 was spent under this authorization on March 8, 2021.
