As of 18 August 2024 the club has 100 members in good standing, of which 6 are students. This month 7 memberships were renewed, with no new members added. There are 6 lapsed memberships, one of them over a year old.  Many of the students graduated this year and so will be dropped from the roster later this month. 

  We have 98 members on Slack, of which only 27 have been active this past month, and there are 24 unused invitations to join. There are 110 people signed up for our groups.io mailing list, excluding those with unverified addresses or bouncing email addresses. As a reminder, that list includes non-members who want to receive information about club activities. On social media, we have over 2,675 followers on Meetup.com, 1,096 followers on Facebook (counting only those in the US) and 184 followers on Instagram.   

   Now that I have learned how to use our new website I have been adding people to it whenever they renew their membership, and working my way through the roster to add those who renewed earlier in the year.  Right now there are about 11 people remaining to be transfered. 

    Our new website includes a blog for club news, and I am now adding membership reports to that in addition to our Newsletter. 

Respectfully Submitted,

Eric Myers 

Acting Membership Coordinator
