Typically, December and January are pretty strong months, given Holiday
sales, Thanksgiving tournaments and some other big events, etc. There
has been a pretty lively discussion among several members heavily
involved in observing the USCF finances of late, including Joel
Channing, Mike Nolan, Grant Perks, Dr. Leroy Dubeck, Mike Carr, Tim
Redman, Donna Alarie, and me -- as well as Executive Director Bill Hall
and our new CFO, Joe Nanna.

Mr. Nanna is working to standardize and better automate reports, and
I'm hopeful that within the next few months we will be much better able
to generate timely and accurate financial information. In the
meantime, we had a strong 2nd quarter on the membership front (some of
which was no doubt due to the dues sale), so I'm cautiously optimistic
that the budget for the year will turn out ok.

Famous last words.

How about making a bet?

If you are wrong, you drop out of the election race, and if you are
right, I drop out.

Fair deal?
