Secretary-Treasurer's Report

April 15, 2011

We have finished the first half of our fiscal year and are on track to having another great one! Here are a few of the highlights:

• Average monthly dues received compared to the projected average used for the proposed budget are right in line.

• Overall spending during the first half is more than $16,000 under budget; however, some of this surplus is expected to be used during the second half for annual expenditures.

• Total Receipts exceeded Total Disbursements for the six month period.

• Our bank account balances have grown by nearly $5,400 since the current budget started on October 1, 2010.

Although numerous factors contributed to this positive growth, the most significant contribution continues to come from your Union Structure. Each of your representatives including your Stewards, Area Representative and Area Vice President continue to give a considerable amount of their personal time to represent you. The surplus in the Unit Lost Wages budget category accounts for over half of the $16,000 surplus noted above.

In addition, the number of memberships in a pending status (we are waiting to receive their first dues payment) have been greatly reduced. There has also been a reduction in the time period from approval of membership application to receipt of the first payment.

So all the hard work has paid off! Thank you for your support.

It was good to see so many familiar faces at our CWA Day at 20 E. Thomas. Thank you to everyone who took out time from their busy day to attend. A special thank you to retirees Dee Cantoni and Terry Wich for all the hard work they put into the event! A number of members stopped by and either signed new COPE cards or increased their current contribution. Kathy McKee was the winner of the movie themed basket and Jason Real won the Diamondbacks basket. Congratulations to you both!

We are still looking for members who are willing to help with our committees. Please take a moment to review the committee website to see which one you would like to join. If you have any questions, call the chair listed or contact any officer.

I look forward to providing an update on our 2nd quarter spending once the Executive Board has reviewed and approved the financial statements for the months of February and March, 2010. The update will be sent out in a couple of weeks.

In Unity,

Sue Head
