Betsy Burke, RVC
At the March AMC meeting it was agreed that there would be an increase in money returned to local groups. Sallie Banko—RVC 2, Dan Wilterding—RVC 6, and myself all attended the February budget committee meeting and pressed for this issue to be addressed.
I’m glad to report that membership is also increasing. As of March 30
th the total membership equaled 49,811. We’re so close to 50,000! It’s interesting to note that many of the new members are younger. I’ll be able to give exact figures next month once all the data is in on renewals. Much of the growth can be attributed to our web site at US.Mensa.Org. If you haven’t checked out this site lately, do so. It has some extra material that you don’t see in the bulletin.Are you planning ahead for some getaways?
