The membership renewal count has crept up to 46, which is 16 % fewer than had renewed at the same time a year ago. I will be sending reminder postcards to those who have not yet renewed.

Our annual insurance bill has been paid, and a deposit has been made on the Mallincam camera to be used for video astronomy at Washington Crossing. The balance of about $1,800 will be due in mid-February when the back-ordered camera is ready to ship.

On a cumulative basis at this date, the AAAP’s surplus remains about $25 thousand.
