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

In the Fall newsletter, I reported a balance of $19,138.11. Since that time, we spent $971.31 on reimbursements for the Fall meeting at Sacred Heart University and $225.00 for Student Awards at that meeting. The expenses from the Fall meeting were 3,048.02, while the revenue from meeting registrations was $5,532.00. The expenses for the printing and postage of the Fall newsletter for that meeting totaled $1,453.97. Moreover, we earned $332.51 in interest since the last newsletter. The 11-month CD that I opened in the amount of $15,000 in the summer with APY 5.00% will mature on May 10, 2007. Our present balance is $19,304.32.

The expenses for our Fall meeting were $2,036.75 less than our Spring meeting expenses, while the registrations from the Fall meeting were $294 more than the Spring meeting registrations. Our expenses for postage and printing of our newsletter have remained basically the same. We spent $1,430.39 for the printing and postage of the Spring 2006 newsletter and spent $1,453.97 for the Fall 2006 newsletter. We are planning to fund a project at Bentley College this fall, since our balance has been increasing over the last few years.

In January, I wrote and submitted our Section’s 2006 Financial Report, and at the beginning of the summer, I shall be writing our section’s annual report.

That is my update for now! We are all looking forward to the Spring MAA meeting at Keene State University on June 8-9, where I will update you further on our finances. I wish you all a very enjoyable spring semester!
