As we approach the end of our fiscal year that ends on June 30, we have 99 members along with two who are pre-paid for the coming year.  In dollar terms we are down about 5% from dues at the same time a year ago.

Expenses continue to be very modest and it’s not certain that anticipated observatory improvements (such as roof work and gravel for parking) will be completed in June.  Our surplus for the year to date is over $2 thousand at this point, so we’ll surely have a surplus for the year.

On a cumulative basis, the AAAP’s surplus is close to $25 thousand.
