Meeting Affirmation's Financial Challenges
Dear Affirmation Members and Friends, As Executive Director I have the responsibility to make certain that the good work of Affirmation is not impeded by the lack of sufficient funds. Affirmation spends money on the website, publishing and distributing Affinity, providing some scholarship support for conferences, and other expenses associated with running organizations like ours. In order to encourage as many folks as possible to join and enjoy the benefits of Affirmation, we charge very low annual dues ($20) and count on additional contributions to make up the difference. During the first six months of 2003 I am happy to report that our income from membership dues was about the same as it was a year ago. Unfortunately, the additional contributions (which often accompany membership dues) have fallen off by 2/3. This leaves Affirmation's fiscal health in a precarious situation if it is not remedied as soon as possible.
Your help is greatly appreciated! Love, Scott MacKay 2003 Executive Director
