I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who sent in a dues payment. We currently have 154 individual dues-paying members and 26 institutional members. Of the 154 individual members, 58 have paid sustaining member dues of $30 or more. The lists of institutional members and sustaining members are on page 15 and 33, respectively. If you have not yet sent in your dues for 2003–2004, you can still do so with the membership form on page 15 or on the Web at www.michmaa.org/dues.html. Please check the list of institutional members. If your school is not listed, you might want to remind your department chair.

The Michigan Section’s current bank balance is $8,300, which includes $1,748 committed to the Section’s Project NExT. Last year’s balance was $7,694, which included the grant for Project NExT. Income from advertisements in the Section’s Newsletter is still coming in, and the cost for production of the Newsletter has been lower in recent years than in the past. We have a good balance of income and expenses and can consider the financial health of the Section as satisfactory.
Margret Höft, Secretary/Treasurer
