Treasurer’s Report

Dues Payable (Holder 9/96, 6/97, 9/97)

360.00

Balance

1958.64

 

As shown on the attached spreadsheet, the current cellar inventory is worth $3042, so each of the seven couples shares in worth a combined total of $5000.64 divided by seven, or $714.37.

 

Since Carolyn and Duane Holder are no longer active members, under our charter that makes their membership available to a new couple.  Carolyn and Duane are owed the difference between their share and outstanding dues of $360, or $354.37.  I would like to suggest that we offer the opening to George Miliotes and his wife for this amount. I don’t believe they can afford the full $714, and I feel they would be a very valuable addition to the group. If there is anyone who doesn’t agree, please let me know at the Henline’s party.  Otherwise I will extend the invitation next week.
