Membership for the current fiscal year is now up to 72, which is 6 members ahead of the same time last year but a way to go from our recent-year final count of close to 90.

Total revenue for the fiscal year to date is about $4,200. With our annual insurance bill paid and StarQuest now settled, we have a surplus so far this year of about $1,100. It is possible that further electrical work at the observatory may reduce this.

On a cumulative basis, our surplus is roughly $22,000.
