Treasurer's Report

Annual Membership

Things are progressing, slowly but surely. As of April 1, we have 524 Regular Members and 257 Life Members (a total of 781). We also just suspended about 150 members for failure to pay annual dues.

Budget

$16,000 has been set aside to date for contract negotiations (as per the FPO return from OSP agreement), and another $12,000 has been budgeted this year for contract negotiation and enforcement. Even with these amounts, the 1999 budget is balanced, even with a slight surplus. For the first quarter of 1999, we have kept our expenses under budget, and our income actually exceeded our budget by a few thousand dollars. We are on the path to financially stabilizing this Local, but it will take some time to get where we would like to be.

FYI

Cost to print and mail 1-page notices to 350 members who are about to be suspended for failure to pay annual dues: about $260 ($.75/person).

Cost to print and mail an 8-page newsletter containing an annual dues reminder to 950 members: about $500 ($.50/person).

Hmmm…

Read the Newsletter!
