Commentary and Observations

 

The club’s largest on-going expense is maintenance of our website closely followed by spending on club events and insurance.

 

Expenses exceeded income from membership dues in 2023. Three main factors contributed to this; decreased dues income as the post pandemic blip in new memberships receded, increased event expenses including the Lake Charlotte Challenge and significant increase in insurance costs.

 

The club remains financially sound. We hold more than two years expenses in our checking account as we begin the year.
