The Treasurer reports that we have had 28 new and/or renewed members in the time since his last report. To his recollection this is the all-time record in the 30-year history of the Society for a one-month period! Membership today stands at 100, trending upwards again after an extended period of gradual decline. Whatever we’re doing, we should keep doing it.

You may also recall that early issues of Strategist (so far, just Volumes 1-4 are available) are now available on MagWeb at http://www.magweb.com. We receive a quarterly payment for these back issues based on MagWeb's total income and the number of hits on these pages. The issues were up for all of one month, but so far we have had nearly 1,000 hits, which translates to $7.86 for sales of these back issues. Based on those numbers, this additional path for distributing back issues could generate significant revenue for the Society. A motion is currently before the Directorate to use this revenue specifically for the Special Fund for the Advancement of the Society, with the objective of increasing our numbers further. So, to support your SGS, go to www.magweb.com and join! Rates run as low as US$4.99 per month for a 12 month membership.
