Message from the Secretary-Treasurer......................................... Ann Kizanis

In the Spring newsletter, I reported a balance of $19,304.32. Since that time, we had $2,864.55 in food and residence expenses from the successful Spring meeting at Keene State College. We spent $473.60 on travel reimbursements for that meeting. The expenses from the Spring meeting were $3,338.15, while the revenue from meeting registrations was $3,785.00. The expenses for the printing and postage of the Spring newsletter for that meeting totaled $929.72. We also received our yearly subvention check for $2,880.00 from the national office at the end of the summer. Moreover, we earned $314.09 in interest since the last newsletter. This summer, I opened a 13-month CD in the amount of $12,000 with APY 4.70% that will mature on July 7, 2008. Our present balance is $22,015.54.

We spent less on travel reimbursements for this meeting than we did for the Fall meeting last year, and our expenses for the postage and printing of our newsletter were $500.67 less than the expenses last year at the same time. We are very excited to be funding a portion of the expenses from the Careers in the Mathematical Sciences Student Conference at Bentley College this October, since our balance has been increasing over the last few years.

In the spring, I wrote and submitted the yearly Financial Report of the Northeastern Section of the MAA. I also wrote our section’s Annual Report at the beginning of the summer.

That is my update for now! We are all looking forward to the Fall MAA meeting at Framingham State College on November 16-17, where I will update you further on our finances. I wish you all a very enjoyable fall semester!
