March was $1098.53 The 1986 Budget was discussed and the following broad budget categories were established for continuing review during the year: INCOME: Membership. approx 540 ~ $9 00 each (National member share) ...............
$ 4,860.00
Regional dues, approx. 375 @ $15 00 each (due 6-1-86) .. Advertising revenue ..................... TOTAL:
$ 5,625.00 $ 5,01000 $15,495.00
EXPENDITURES: Porscherama ........................... Pro-Terns, postage, mailing .............. Misc. printing and Board expenses ........ TOTAL:
$ 9,000.00 $ 2,100.00 S 1,000.00 $12,100.00
Based on the above, and considering the approximately $2.70Q00 carry over loss from 1985, it is expected the the region will "break even" by the end of 1986, assuming the above figures remain accurate. "Event" income, expenses and profits were discounted from the above because most events break even and don’t create net income or expense for the region Membership Report: Tom Marx reported on the ’membership questionnaire" It was an outstanding success. More than 100 people responded to the mailer out of the

The first in the Valley, the second in the South Bay area. The next will be in Pasadena (we think), and will include a barbecue. A softball game is coming up this summer.
