Financial Report July 30, 2010

Reports - Treasurer

  • Account $45,643 as 7/30/10
  • Concern about our renewals in various organization was raised by Marlene. All of our memberships are paid except for CAD. We possibly paid a two year membership and there is no place on the site for organizational memberships so I have written to them for clarification. As soon has I hear from them I will let you know the status.
  • All bills are paid and up to date. In particular the liability insurance with the new carrier was paid. I am still getting bills from Hartford.
  • Two days ago I received a package from UPS Store. In the package was about 20 memberships renewals several of them post marked July 2nd. It is clear they don't understand what weekly means. I have talked to the staff and I have talked to the owner and apparently they can't follow instructions. Really need to find another place.
  • In that package was an invitation to sponsor CSDR the Dead Silence Dinner. $500 Skeleton Sponsor (cheapest sponsorship, highest is $2,500)  will receive recognition at the event, 4 seats at the table and half page ad in the program bank.The event is Oct 28th.
  • CSDR has also asked if we would like to volunteer to work at the Deaf National Prep Volleyball tournament. This will take place from Oct 1st through the 3rd. They need help in four areas - admissions, hospitality, statistics and general.
