Pylon Events - May 14, June 11 and August 27 A budget from the past - Treasurer's Report Greetings for the new year. It's time to renew our memberships in both AMA and ERCA. I'll be quite busy closing out 2011, setting up the files and books for the new year, renewing our charter with AMA. renewing our club insurance among other administrative functions. We are all volunteers here at ERCA headquarters so help us to help you better by making our jobs easier. The best way to do that is to get your membership renewal in as soon as possible so I can finish and submit to AMA our final club roster. That way AMA will know who belongs to our charter and gets covered by our insurance. Besides, you won't want to miss out on any of the good times we plan to have this next year. The more the merrier. Financially, we will end 2011 with $6051.65 in the bank. That is very near where we ended 2010, with $6072.82. Although we had some expenses we had not budgeted for, we still ended this year under budget. I'm looking forward to carrying the Secretary / Treasurer ball again this year and hope we have as good a year as the past few in spite of the economy. So, here's wishing all members a Happy New Year and as always, happy landings.
