Hi Folkies!
There's not much that's new to report statistics-wise. We're holding our own within a 10% range of about 355 memberships, representing about 530 people. About 35% of our Members decide to contribute the extra $5 to become Supporting Members.
There's been a gradual increase over the year of members who choose to get their Newsletter electronically. But the majority still prefer to get paper. A big "Thank You!" to Liz for the all the work she puts in as our Newsleditor, and to Carl for handling the mailings.
Most of our members are from New Jersey, but there are a significant number of members in nearby states, with a few folkies scattered around the rest of the country.
The "median zip code" is part of an old joke. Please don't think too hard looking for any significance in it.
Respectfully,
Rick Thomas
Membership Chair for 2011.
