The accounts are now shown in US Dollars,
despite problems caused the fluctuating
Australian dollar (I used A$1=US$0.65).
We started the millennium with a relatively
healthy balance, almost $3000 ahead of 1998,
but there are still bills from the Athens
Inter-Congress and WAB10 that have been
paid in 2000. They will appear on next year’s
accounts. It is important to keep the membership
up, so please send back the renewal notices
that will arrive in June. It costs us money
to send you a second reminder!!! Everyone
should also kept me informed of address
changes.
Please remind your library of our new Library
rate of just $40. This will allow a much
wider readership and help encourage new
members. Members in Western Africa can join
by paying a small fee to their local representatives
Bayo Folorunso or Obare Bagoda and in Central
Africa to Raymond Asonbang. Similar arrangements
can be made for other parts of the world
who face financial hardship. A waiver can
also be made. Please contact me and we will
establish a workable system.
