One Month Dues Holiday (January 2010)
Treasurer Edward Hung offered a detailed report of the AAPS finances. In his report Edward noted that revenue has been increasing at a faster pace than expenses which resulted in sizable surpluses in recent years. In light of the current fiscal position of AAPS, a motion was introduced to offer a one month dues holiday in 2010 for the month of January. The motion passed unanimously. Edward indicated that the board will study various options for an ongoing reduction in dues to be presented at the Spring AGM.
Sincerely,
Isabella Losinger,
President
