Treasurer’s Report
Declining balances. 2010 – 2011: membership dues are down, as is $$ coming from SAFCU.
- Do have some incoming checks that help, but still a little low.
- Trophy series $$ down.
- Permits are up.
- Expenses are down, too, though – doing a good job here.
Overall not doing bad – we’ve really reduced expenses with reduced income, and still have a lot in the bank.
