RE: General Membership Meeting Summary Report for February 15, 2023


The following notes represent my personal summary of the February General Membership Meeting and ARE NOT OFFICIAL MINUTES. They are for the express purpose of keeping the members informed in a timely fashion. Since minutes must be approved at a subsequent General Membership Meeting, any updates which would require the use of the actual minutes would result in updates being one-month old.

The following was approved at the February meeting:

  • Minutes of the January 18th, 2023 meeting 
  • The financial statement ending January 31, 2023 and the disbursements of $204,215.21.   Our receipts were in excess of our disbursements by $204,215.21.  This resulted in our General Account being positive by $132,108.64
