Membership/Treasurer Report
September 30, 2009
This will once again be a combined Membership/Finance report in narrative format.
Membership
We wish to welcome two new “Life” members from the Heli Era. Capt. Dave Forbes, currently an active Lion at Petawawa and Major Greg Weibe now serving as a Snowbird.
Finance
Recession, Recession, Recession
Revenue for the nine months – Jan 01 to Oct 01
New Members – 2@ $50.00 = $100.00
Donations by Era: WWII - $191.22, Sabre - $300.00, F-104 - $0.00, Heli - $0.00
Therefore our total revenue for nine months in 2009 is $591.22 which doesn’t quite meet expenses for the April issue of ROAR. This issue of ROAR will have to be funded out of savings unless the ever possible “Donations Fairy” comes through prior to year end.
As I have mentioned previously, our revenue is now almost totally reliant on the goodwill DONATIONS from our current membership and less reliant on the acquisition of new members (which was the case in the past).
I am well aware of the devastating effects that the recession has had on the income and savings of all of us. My only hope is that this current upturn in the economy will provide a measure of confidence in all of you - to the extent that you will be able to think kindly of your Association.
