As the calendar year (but not our fiscal year) draws to a close, the AAAP is in solid financial shape.  We have at this point 64 paid members — two more than at the same time last year.  Total revenue from dues, contributions, and the sale of calendars and astronomy items is about $3,100.  General expenses this far are less than $600.  Together with the surplus from StarQuest, the Association’s year-to-date surplus is about $2,900. This will be reduced by about $1,000 when our insurance is paid.

On a cumulative basis, our surplus is now roughly $21,400.
