September’s Treasurer’s Report/in /by

By Dale Lozier:

As of 9/21/19 STAHI bank balance is $4005.51.  Have collected 2019 dues from Mark Peet and Tracy Urbassik.  Contacted Ross Relyea concerning paying post NYSAHI dues collection and he had no president for dues submitted after our May membership based payment.  Will be sending Ross NYSAHI dues for Peck, Hackel, Barron and Peet with their info for Ross to update their membership data base.  Unfortunately there was a communication error and we missed our opportunity for sponsorship in the Tim McGovern Open.  As discussed will be sending check to Sean McGovern in the amount of $850.00 toward the Tim McGovern fund with instructions to notify STAHI of future events to ensure our participation.
