2. The 2005 budget is a worse case ( I hope), Income from individual dues currently shows 57 paid and 45 unpaid. In '04 we only lost 15 ind., 3 newsletter and 5 family memberships. The current database shows 103 individual, 15 Family, 1 honorary, and 3 newsletter members. We could increase income based on historical loss factors ( we have not lost more than 21 individual members in the last 4 years) However, we will still be cutting deeply into our savings account this year even with a more optimistic income forecast.
Al, A tip for getting people to renew. Send them an E-mail directly (no CC list, only one address in the From line) with the SAC Membership Services Form attached.
I did that about two or three years ago. Most people ignored an earlier message which had a bunch of addresses on the From list, but the second, individual message got me a lot of replies.
This might be a lot of work for you (cut-n-pasting), but it will get results.
You might do this after the February meeting.
