SECRETARY / TREASURER'S REPORT
AS OF 31 OCTOBER 1998

Financial Activity 1 Nov 97 thru 31 Oct 98:

I must first apologize for not being in attendance at the 1998 RAFINO reunion.  I am still one of the working people and since the fiscal year came at the same time as the reunion, I felt I needed to be on the job and perform the work they pay me to do. From all the feed-back I've received the reunion was once again a success.  I surely did miss seeing every one and catching up on all the latest information.

Regrettably, I had to inactivate 24 members of the Society at the close of our membership year.  I sent out 3rd and final reminders to pay their dues but received no responses.  Our current roster now lists 717 active members.
 
Once again, to all who take the time to write me a note when you send in your dues, I thank you.  I share a lot of the thoughts passed on, such as "sorry to be late, put the dues notice in a pile of mail and filed the pile away…."  As you may realize, I forward many of these comments with our newsletter editor who in turn takes the opportunity to print them for all our members to share and enjoy.  For those on Email, I have found this to be a great way to communicate .….fast, easy and with no need to be the best writer in the world. 

Again, I want to pass on my thanks to Bob Flewelling and "Chick" Cecchini for keeping me informed of database changes which assist me in keeping the records current and accurate.  Their patience and, most of all, their friendship have been great!  May you all have a Blessed and Joyous Holiday!  

Phil (and Jeanne) Anderson
