CFA FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

2010-11

    This report for the year FY11 covers the time period from May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011 and is based on the information provided by our very capable Executive Secretary and Treasurer, Cheryl Deptula.  Our expenditures were met this year with the cooperation of Cheryl Deptula and our White Tops Editors, Mardi and John Wells.  The raising of funds through a special White Tops giving program from our members of almost $10,000 allowed us to meet our budget and pay all of our bills on time.  

    In looking at the year ahead FY12 it was determined that the budget process would be more difficult and the Board has already approved the budget for the year starting May 1, 2011 which shows a distinct cutting of funds for White Tops along with some other cooperation in funding our general obligations.  Our future Presidents will have less to use for travel provided the Board decides to keep the current figure of $1000 instead of $3000 as previously designated.  Likewise almost $10,000 has been saved by the cooperation and rebidding of the printing and handling of White Tops done by the Wells.  It should also be noted that the upgrading of their equipment for the purpose of White Tops was done at their own expense to be able to use the new printing company effectively.  That cooperation is what will make the budget work in this current year.  Our President Maxine House and our President-Elect Clark Beurlen have also played major roles in the establishment of the new budget and how we can cut costs.  

    In the upcoming Board Meeting you will be asked to raise dues beginning May 1, 2012 by $5 per person in membership categories that receive White Tops hoping to reestablish some of our financial needs and allow us to be prepared for any emergency that should develop.  I urge you to approve this recommendation.

    As a member of the CFA it is also important that you continue to give extra where you can to support our goals and our magazine, White Tops   Many members find that our magazine is the most important part of their membership and although it is our greatest individual expense, it also produces the greatest interest in our organization.  More people join CFA for the magazine than any other benefit we offer.

Sincerely,

Pete Adams, Chairperson
