[NCC] Treasurer's Report

[Tim Jellison]

Here is a quick summary of NCC's treasury.

NCC has historically maintained a good balance sheet thanks to donations 
from its members.  We are a loose organization and dues have been 
remitted for as long as I can remember.  Instead, we "take care of 
business" by counting on members to throw money into the pot after our 
infrequent meetings.  The informality means that we never talk about 
money, but somehow we always seem to have enough to do whatever we set 
out to do.

I keep track of who gives what, but I have no plans to ever publish that 
list.  Members throw in whatever they see fit.  I plan to summarize our 
treasury twice a year - at our annual meeting in January and again right 
around our summer picnic.

We started out the year with $2561.  The annual meeting in January was 
virtual thanks to the continuing Covid risk.  Dues were once again waved 
and the "take" from donations was somewhat meager because the hat to 
throw money into was accessible only by US Mail or Paypal.  Folks just 
naturally didn't donate as much as usual because it wasn't as easy as 
simply handing the treasurer some greenbacks.

Between January 1 and now, we received $470 in donations.  Two 
expenditures were made - $160 was sent to the ARRL for the NCC sponsored 
contest plaques and $375 was spent on the super suite that we sponsor at 
Hamvention, giving us a balance of $$2496 .

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday.  It sounds like 
we'll have a fantastic turn out.
