For the record, the "Archives" has around $350 in allocated funds remaining from past activities from which to draw to cover expenses.

The above budget reflects expected net cash flow for 2007 and authorizes the Treasurer to spend funds to cover expenses incurred to provide membership services approved by the Board of Directors and the membership.

Respectfully submitted:
Bruce R, MacDermott, Treasurer
