Commentary and Observations

The club incurred a large one-time expense to stage the Sixtieth Anniversary celebration. The club funded the celebration partially from a withdrawal from the Club’s CD and partly from operating funds.

 

The club’s largest on-going expense is maintenance of our website closely followed by spending on insurance. Inflation costs this year.

 

Excepting the Sixtieth Anniversary spending, income from membership dues exceeded expenses by $ 411.98 in 2024.

 

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

 

Respectfully submitted.
