| 1996 ended a while ago, but we finally
closed the books in the third quarter of 1997.
The final numbers are presented here. When examining the Committee’s supporting services costs, it’s always worth noting that about twenty percent of them come from the Information Center and Bookstore sales program—a program which more than pays its way through sales income. The bookstore is doing even better in 1997; expect to see sales revenues continue to add significantly to the Committee’s bottom line. Also note that we spent nearly four times the amount of money on educational outreach as on fundraising. You may be wondering if it will take another twelve months to report on 1997. We certainly don’t expect it to! Audited financial statements should be ready by summer, and a 1997 report should be available here in the Newsletter in the fall. Once again, the bottom line is that the Committee’s work is accomplished with funds generously provided by you, our members and supporters. Given the relatively small size of our budget, the impact of your donation, bequest, and membership contributions is large. Thank you! Be sure to visit the lake if you can to see what your support is accomplishing! Kathi Richards is the Committee’s Controller and chief number cruncher. She’s the proud owner of new ski boots. |
