Off= of the Trmaurn Mycology Laboratory. USDA-ARS Bcluvillc Agricultural Research Center Bcltrville. MD 20705 Telephone: (301) 344-3364 The Mycological Society of America FOUNDED DECEMBER. 1931 Report of the Treasurer 2 August 1984 As of 1 August 1984, the Society had a balance of $3,534.48 in its checking account, $36,301.10 in its savings account which includes $627.61 in the Barksdale Fund; the Alexopoulos fund with $5,497.14, in a separate account; and, also in a separate account, proceeds from the sale of a Brief History of North American Mycology with $249.77. Total assets are $45,582.49. The Society has no outstanding liabilities. As authorized by the 1983 Council, twenty travel grants were awarded to members of the Mycological Society of America to attend IMC3. Seventeen of these were for $500.00 each, while three awardees requested sums of less than $500. Thus, $9660.56,was spent for travel grants. New receipts from 1 August 1983 to 31 July 1984 totalled $31,942.04. This includes $30,954.77 from Regular, Associates and Affiliated Members which is an increase of $380.57 from that reported in 1982-83. Interest on the checking account yielded $987.27 income. We have twenty-one Sustaining Members who provided $4,200.00 income. Interest from the Savings Account through June totalled $2,808.99. Surplus from the 1983 APS-MSA Meeting returned $2378.00 to the Society, royalties from the MSA Guidebook yielded $532.49, and $244.85 came from the sale of Mycologia Memoirs. Other receipts in the Savings Account are from the AIBS Dividends $30.00, sale of the Careers Brochure $25.00, and a contribution to the Barksdale Fund $25.00. Disbursements to date totalled $48,453.93. Included in this sum was $17,660.56 spent for IMC-3 travel awards. Payments to the New York Botanical Garden for Mycologia were $16,220.00, a decrease of $3,028.00 over the previous year. Total cost of printing and mailing of the directory and the newsletter was $9704.39. Other disbursements represent normal expenditures necessary to direct the Society's activities. Despite the disbursement of almost $10,000.00 in IMC-3 travel grants, the Society is in good financial condition with an increase in net assets of $14,206.93 over the past year. This primarily is the result of continued support from our Sustaining Members, a temporary decrease in payments to the New York Botanical Garden, an increase in interest income, and the windfall return on the 1983 Annual Meeting. Several of these sources will provide one-time input only, thus cannot be counted on for continued support of the Society.
Memberships : As of the dates listed below, membership in the Mycological Society of America was distributed as follows: 31 July 10 June 20 June Net changes in 1982 1983 1984 past year Regular & student 1230 1239 1212 Life 26 26 26 Emeritus (16 w) 101 101 9 3 Sustaining 28 2 2 21 Associate 23 2 6 36 corresponding 8 Affiliated Societies - 8 TOTALS - - 1424 12 12 - 6 - 6 1432 1406 Between 1 August 1983 and 20 June 1984, 57 Regular Members, 43 Student Members, 16 Associate Members and 42 Reinstatements, were added to the Society's role. One-hundred fifty-five members resigned or were dropped for non-payment of dues. Dues Notices: Dues notices were included in the September-October issue of Mycologia. Several members did not see the dues envelopes and less than half of the MSA membership paid their dues before the 1 January deadline. Separate reminder notices were sent and a majority of the membership responded before the deadline for being dropped from the roles in May, 1984. This tardiness in payment is unacceptable. Bright red, full page payment notices will be included in the Sept.-Oct. issue of' Mycologia this year. All members are requested to pay before the 1 January 1985 deadline.
