Membership Committee Report: 
Our membership in the last twelve months, ending April 30, has grown by 
461. As of May 1, 1968, membership consisted of 1,751 dues-paying mem- 
bers, 74 life and honorary members, 1 patron, 39 affiliates and 7 chapters— 
a total of 1,872. In the last 12 months we have acquired 450 new dues- 
paying members, 6 new life members, 1 new affiliate and 4 new chapters, 
a total of 461. Thirteen regular members became life members which 
with the six new life members gives a total of nineteen life members. (It is 
hoped that the more than 300 members who have not paid their 1968 
dues will do so. The third dues notice will be mailed to them soon.) 
Treasurer's Report: 
Our financial condition has improved as shown by the treasurer’s annual 
report for the year ending June 30, 1967. Our bank balance increased by 
slightly more than $250. This can be traced to the $450 increase in dues 
collected. Now, if we use a May 1 to April 30 period instead of our official 
fiscal year, our bank balance has increased by almost $2,000. At this 
moment dues collected in the first ten months of this fiscal year is almost 
$3,000 more than was collected all of last year, so we can look forward 
to another year of increased dues collection, if a majority of the 300 mem- 
bers who have not paid their 1968 dues do so.
