Insurance pre-renewal check in received. They need some info from us before getting quotes for us.

Nothing to report.
Business as usual.
Have put a bit more effort into infrastructure over the last month.
We had strong membership income with a few members catching up on overdue invoices. We are back on track following these up. The last gap is really checking in on new members to make sure their second month's membership is paid on time. Currently we end up a bit behind on noticing this, as the invoice is not generated until the first month has expired, meaning they end up oweing for 2 or 3 months by the time it show on our report.
Spending has been moderated as we will have our insurance bill due in April. The renewal process has just started, we don't have an estimate yet.
