For the calendar year 2021 income (donations) dropped by $331.96 over 2020 while expenses (server, fees) increased $45.67 (mostly due to taxes on server fees). The year and assets of $20,039.85 were an increase of $980.45 over the previous year.

3.  New Business

Feb 21, 2022  9:25 AM
President Maher asked for the new business item, server funding, from Mark Christian.

Feb 21, 2022 2:07 PM
Treasurer Mark Christian posted:

The annual renewal fee for our server is due 03/25/2022. As of now the
renewal amount is $583.07. This is a very good rate but higher than
last year because sales tax is now charged on the transaction. In the
motion below I am asking for authorization of up to $600.00 as was done
last year, the extra amount for any unforeseen contingencies.

I move that $600.00 be authorized for a one year renewal of the the
InMotion Hosting account which hosts IAGenWeb.org.

Mark Christian

Seconded by Conni McDaniel Hall at 2:33 PM, Feb 21, 2022.
