Message from Ann Kizanis, Secretary-Treasurer of the Northeastern Section

In the Fall newsletter, I reported a balance of $22,015.54. Since that time, the expenses from the Men at Work: Careers in the Mathematical Sciences Student Conference at Bentley College were $5,937.71, while the revenue from registrations was $4,212.60. We had $3,980.25 in food expenses from the successful Fall meeting at Framingham State College. We also spent $481.24 on travel reimbursements and $225.00 for Student Awards at that meeting. The total expenses for the Fall meeting were $4,686.49, while the revenue from meeting registrations was $6,057.05. The expenses for the printing and postage of the Fall newsletter totaled $1,536.75. Moreover, we earned $330.20 in interest since the last newsletter. The 13-month CD that I opened in the amount of $12,000 in the summer with APY 4.75% will mature on July 7, 2008. Our present balance is $20,454.44.

The total expenses for our Fall meeting were $1,348.34 more than our Spring meeting expenses, while the registrations from the Fall meeting were $2,272.05 more than the Spring meeting registrations. The expenses for the postage and printing of our newsletter have increased from last spring. We spent $929.72 for the printing and postage of the Spring 2007 newsletter and $1,536.75 for the printing and postage of the Fall 2007 newsletter.

In January, I wrote and submitted our Section’s 2007 end of year 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 Saint Michael’s College on May 30-31, where I will update you further on our finances. I wish you all a very enjoyable spring semester!
