I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who sent in
dues! Each check is appreciated. The current balance in the Section
account is $11,819.88, which includes a $3000 grant from the Exxon
Foundation to sponsor Section Project NExT activities. Last year, the
balance was $9,199.39.
We now have 150 individual members; last year at this time we had 144.
A breakdown of membership is shown in the table below. Lists of
sustaining and institutional members are given on pages 31 and 33,
respectively.
This year's individual members include 106 from higher education, eight
from K-12 education, four from industry, 23 retired, four students, and
five others. Of the 26 institutions, 11 are private, 11 are
state-supported, and five are two-year.
If you have not sent in your dues for 1999-2000, you can still do so.
There is a membership form on page 33 of the printed newsletter. If you can't remember whether
you have paid, contact me by e-mail
(favro@ltu.edu) or phone
(248-204-3531), and I will be glad to let you know.
The book sale at the Section's annual meeting promises to be at least as
good as last year. All new publications will be on hand. From what I
saw in Washington, they are excellent! The book sale is a good place to
stock up on books to give graduating seniors, prize books for contests,
and books for your own library.
