In spite of a decrease in membership, the financial situation of the Berkeley Chapter of the STC is stable. By converting the Ragged Left to an online format, we've eliminated the largest expense to the chapter— the monthly printing and mailing of the newsletter. In this fiscal year, the Berkeley Chapter is acting as treasury for the ongoing series of Leadership Conferences, and of the general Region Eight Conference in Las Vegas in July of 2003.

Chapter Treasurer Ben Lukas is preparing a budget to guide the activities of the STC for the next fiscal year, which started in July, 2003. He and the executive board welcome the input of any Berkeley Chapter member who may wish to contribute constructive ideas. To share any ideas or questions, email Ben.
