Financials

Year-to-date 2007 CUUPS has generated approximately $6425.00. We've exceeded our goal.
Thanks to a kind donor, no money came from our budget for our national CUUPS dues.

Ollis contacted CUUPS National to check on membership cards for those who have not gotten them yet. Everyone's dues are being set to be due on October 31st. CUUPS National is changing officers, and the process of getting the members service is being changed a bit. CUUPS National has revised their address. The new form is on their web site http://www.cuups.org, or you can see a member of the CUUPS council for a form.
