Membership Report

• We remain hopeful to report better news, but February 2025 membership continues the downward trend seen over the past year.
  • We were at 81 back in January 2024 and fell to 72 by December 2024. January 2025 was 68. February 2025 stands at 66.
  • Two members that paid $65 in January, do not show as paying $65 in February. A third member made two $65 payments in February, with one covering the missed January payment
  • There is an uptick in first-time visitors and our OOPS activities SHOULD BEAR FRUIT TO GROW our membership.
• This is the link to the February report:

Treasurer Report

• NOTE the January Report presented at the last Board Meeting contained errors, incorrectly showing the NET as negative at ($30.78). The CORRECTED January NET was positive at $534.22. The minutes of the January Board Meeting have been revised as shown here.
• In current news, February is traditionally our worst financial month, and February 2025 was no exception.
• Here is the link for the LVL1-FinancialSummary-202502.pdf with the following values:
  • February REVENUE was $4,070.22. This is largely due to a cash flow quirk in that multiple members pay at the end of the month, and the Pike13 deposit for this late-February revenue hit Republic Bank in March.
  • February EXPENSE was ($5,659.37) This is largely due to two impacts:
    • The annual Pike13 "Essential" charge of ($1,466.00) added to the nominal February Pike13 "STL" credit card processing charge of ($172.09).
    • The February LG&E bill was large at ($1,654.19) due to the cold weather.
  • February NET was negative at ($1,735.36).
  • The monthly numbers should start to look better in the coming months with the warmer weather.
