The traditional method of measuring the net worth of the PCS has been to calculate the cost of the newsletters owed members at this time and subtract that amount from the ending balance. This brings our net worth to $487.49. Calculations are below. The average balance in the checking account has fallen from $1122 at the beginning of 1999 to $973 at the end. Our low balance is due to our taking in less in subscriptions than we spend to print and mail the "Scree", and to a service charge of $12 being levied against our account every month. Continuing to draw down our balance will have unwanted results. It may be time to raise the cost of a "Scree" subscription, or to reduce the size of the newsletter to bring down the cost of printing it. Thanks to Jim Ramaker for his help in preparing this statement.
