RE: General Membership Meeting Summary Report for August 19th, 2026


The following notes represent my personal summary of the August 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 August meeting:


  • The minutes of the July 15th, 2026 General Membership meeting
  • The financial statement ending July 2026 and the disbursements of $97,131.72.   Our receipts were in excess of our disbursements by $29,169.76.  This resulted in our General Account being positive by $157,268.00.
