Spring Bulletin 2008
The Illinois Society is pleased to report that
we have reported 31 paid members with
the filing of our Annual Report in
January. This is a modern times record,
as we added 35% from our last year’s
numbers. In addition, we are also pleased
to say that our Treasury has increased by
40%, due to the judicious placement of our
meager resources.
