[arrl-odv:19008] 2009 Audited Financial Statements
by Shelley, Barry, N1VXY 18 May '10

18 May '10

Ladies and Gentlemen: Attached you will find the final, audited financial statements for the ARRL for the year ended December 31, 2009 including the auditors' opinion letter. These will be included in the annual report for 2009. Several points should be highlighted: 1. The auditors, once again, gave the ARRL an "unqualified opinion" on the financial statements. 2. Operating income for the year was $236,000. 3. At this time last year, we reported that, as a result of the decrease in market value of our investments in both the League's portfolio and that of the ARRL pension plan, the organization had a "negative" net asset balance of $409,000. However, the increase in the value of both portfolios coupled with the freezing of the defined benefit pension plan, resulted in an adjustment of almost $5.9 million in 2009, restoring the final net assets at year-end to $5.8 million. If anyone has any questions on the financials, please let me know. 73, Barry J. Shelley, N1VXY Chief Financial Officer ARRL, Inc-The National Association for Amateur Radio(tm) 225 Main St. Newington, CT 06111 www.arrl.org <http://www.arrl.org/> Phone: (860) 594-0212 E-mail: bshelley(a)arrl.org <mailto:bshelley@arrl.org>

[arrl-odv:19007] Dayton!
by Kay Craigie 18 May '10

18 May '10

Everyone, staff and volunteers alike, associated with presentation of the ARRL Expo at Dayton did an outstanding job. Everyone I met who commented on the display got its message loud and clear. When the revenue figures and numbers of memberships are available, I think we'll all be extremely happy. The qualitative results are already known, and they're very much on the positive side. Attendance seemed to be up at Dayton this year, and people were in a pretty good state of mind. Even the weather was cooperative. Thanks to everyone who participated. 73 - Kay N3KN

Dave, Thanks for checking up on Paul and giving us an update. It is bad enough having to go to the hospital, but worse when you're out of town on a vacation trip. The good news is that he did well. I know he was happy to see some friendly faces!

I also noted the wonderful service oriented efforts by staff and volunteers. And hams I spoke with were quite pleased with Hamvention in general and the ARRL area in particular. I would say that for a variety of reasons I would rank this year's Hamvention one of the best ever since I started attending them and camping on the 'Vention flea market grounds in 1973. Weather. Attendance. Organization of the ARRL Expo. Engaged, hard working staff. Volunteer participation. --all were top notch. A sincere congratulations to all!

Thanks, Cliff and Jim. In addition to noting the outstanding work done by staff in designing and executing the Expo area and in staffing it over the weekend, we're also mindful that fully ¾ of the Expo team were volunteers. Thanks to everyone who pitched in to make this year's Expo, I believe, the best yet. Dave K1ZZ From: James F.

I really cannot put into words the positive effect that the EXPO had on the Hamvention and for Amateur Radio in General. Despite long hours of work, the staff's enthusiasm never wavered. As I said when the EXPO first started, it is the very best event that the ARRL could have held to show who we are, what we do, and why it is important to be a member!

I would like to add my congratulations to all that participated in the ARRL EXPO at Dayton! I really cannot put into words the positive effect that the EXPO had on the Hamvention and for Amateur Radio in General. Despite long hours of work, the staff's enthusiasm never wavered.
