1. Gary Wolff has prepared preliminary financial reports for FY 2013-2014. We had a net operating loss for the year of $19,233, which was mostly offset by $15,964 in gains in our investments. Final reports should be available for next month’s C of C meeting.

2. The preliminary report for the May 2014 national conference shows a net income of $3,519. Additionally, we have $950 in credit card payments from seven persons that were uncollectible for various reasons, mostly because the donors did not include their addresses on the forms. I am working on getting their contact information from Carolyn Schodt, so that I can request that they replace those payments.

3. For July 1 through August 31, 2014, we had total income of $4,407 and expenses of $2,694, for a net operating gain of $1,713. For the comparable period last year we had total income of $4,894 and expenses of $4,128, for a net operating gain of $766.

4. Several people have asked for the results of the “AVP 40” fundraising campaign that Thomas Boyd launched at the national conference in Philadelphia. The total received through the end of August is $1,201 from 40 individuals. There was an additional $400 in credit card donations from seven persons that were uncollectible for various reasons, mostly because the donors did not include their addresses on the forms. I have sent emails to all of those donors. So far one has sent $50 through the website, two have said they would send checks (totaling $150), one has declined to donate, and three have not yet responded.
