Treasures Report: Read by Al Hill (Tony was not able to attend meeting).

Here is my report: Membership is at 88 as of today. The treasury has $2040.25 in the bank and a

deposit of $50.00 in transit, for a total of $2,090.25. The only bill outstanding is postage to send out

12+ burgees which I am behind at. This should be less than $10.00. Paul was paid $115.49 for his out of pocket

for the boat show. Nothing else to report except I want to go sailing.
