The convention programs are showing positive cash flows, though not as much as expected, memberships are down by only 7, and considering that we deleted 65 members at the beginning of the year 2000, the total loss is not that severe. Advertising is marginally up ($6) and we have picked up one new ad for 2001. Naturally, ads are only included in the Dispatch so long as the businesses feel that they are showing a positive return for what they spend, so tell the various merchants that you saw their ad here. Likewise to convention managers who place their convention ads in here. The real shortfalls are in Conventions, over which we have no great control and dues over which YOU have the control ...... The unbudgeted expense was for half the cost of replacing Major Bill's printer. This expense was approved after consultation with the Regional BoD.
