Treasurer’s Report:
Burt Bostwick
The association
is in good shape with a little over $18,000 in bank with all expenses paid.
The GWAA Board has approved a change in anniversary dates. Presently, each
member renews for 1, 3, or 5 years on the anniversary date they signed up. This
requires our membership chair to monitor, maintain and mail out renewal notices
up to 12 times a year. The change approved by the Board now establishes January
and July as membership renewal dates. Henceforth, all new members will have a
renewal date of the closest forward date of the receipt of their application.
Motion by Bobby Morris; second by Bud Mayo to accept change in billing for
membership.
As a complement to the new anniversary date policy, the Board has also
authorized a new dues category. “Lifetime” or “Paid Up”. Beginning July 1,
2015 through June 30, 2016 only, members will have the opportunity to sign up
for this new category. The new dues category will cost $100.00 and will be
pro-rated for those that will still have time remaining on their existing
memberships.
Membership Report:
Martin Johnson went over membership count by years. 956 Total members.
