Treasurer's Report - Dan Howard
Dan Howard sent out a financial statement on March 1, 2005. Items that were mentioned are:

  • Andrew Conway bought some inventory from the IJA, to create a negative amount for office expenses.
  • Two life members joined last year.
  • Video income roughly equals video expenses.
  • We are no longer tracking country origins for membership income.
  • Member income was $50K. JUGGLE expenses $64,793.96.
  • We made about $9k profit in merchandise. (includes one-time sales of video rights) Approximately $5-$6k in merchandise profit.

IJA Investment Strategy Report - Dave Davis
The IJA currently has over $150K in funds that could be getting a higher rate of return. The board has previously directed this to happen. Arthur Lewbel has identified the Domini social equity fund as a appropriate investment choice for the IJA. We plan to start investing about $2,000 a month into the fund. We are spreading out the deposits (dollar cost averaging) to minimize market risk. The plan is for us to continue investing monthly for the next 5 years at which point most of our funds should be invested. This plan will be reviewed and possibly tweaked, on a regular basis.

Inventory Report - Joyce Howard
Alan Plotkin has a quote to move inventory to Steve Healy in California, approx, $1700. This will save us $89/month in storage fees.

2005 Festival Report - Todd Strong
Currently we have well over one hundred members registered. Things are looking good for an excellent festival this summer.
