With the holidays fast approaching it means it is also time for my annual reminder about year-end expenses. So we can provide accurate financial information for the Board meeting and wrap up the books for the year, we will need all your 2008 expense reimbursement reports by no later than Friday, January 9, 2009. This is the date as the Board meeting is earlier than usual this year. As in the past, we realize that there will probably be December administrative expenses (phone bills, etc.) which you may not have by that date. In those instances, please provide estimates where possible for the end of the year and we will make the proper accounting entries to accrue for those expenses. Then, we will reimburse you for the actual amounts when they are eventually known and submitted for reimbursement. Have a wonderful holiday season! 73, Barry J.
