Membership Report

• We remain hopeful to report better news next month, but January 2025 membership is a continuation of the downward trend seen during 2024.
  • We were at 81 in January 2024 and fell to 72 by December 2024. January 2025 stands at 68.
  • Four members that paid $50 in December, do not show as paying $65 in January.
  • The good news is we added one new member in each of the past three months, and the OOPS initiative WILL CONTINUE TO GROW our membership.
