2022 Proposed Budget

Pursuant to the CCC bylaws, the proposed 2022 CCC budget will be open for member voting from March 15, 2022 – March 30, 2022. You can find the voting page here.

The forum is now open for discussion here and includes links to the proposed budget and historical documents.

The proposal forecasts a budget that balances sufficient but not excessive expenses with activities that accomplish the club’s goals. Since some of the club’s missions do not generate revenue, achieving a reasonable budget at the current membership fee is a challenge. After retooling and reducing the expense column several times in the last month, it is possible that an increase in the membership dues is necessary to fulfill the club’s missions. The board will actively seek member input, starting with the Spring electronic membership meeting. Look for an announcement of the March membership meeting date soon. The theme will be “Your Membership Benefits” because a discussion about the membership fee should start with recognition of the membership benefits that are available to you.

Currently the budget does not include a line item for a financial audit. However, the Treasurer’s position is transitioning to a new Treasurer after more than 4 years under the leadership of Mary Stager and the board believes that an audit would be appropriate this year. Past audits have been conducted by CCC members with accounting/CPA backgrounds. If you have the requisite expertise and are willing to perform this service for the club, please contact me or current Treasurer Karen Lloyd.
