The dues figure is the best we have had since 1972, well above our average for the past twelve years, and only about $1.00 short of our all- time high in 1970. If we could get a little more activity on soliciting members, we could easily have thebest record in our history for 1979! As to the number of members, we are above all years since 1976 but about 75 below the average and 172 behind the record 437 members in just six counties back in 1968. The figures by Counties, with last year's final totals m par- entheses, stand currently like this: Fayette 26 (21), Green- brier 51 (50), McDowell 2 (1), Mercer 41 (47), Monroe 14 (19), Nicholas 6 (10), Raleigh 67 (47), Summers 55 (29), Wyoming 2 (4), and others 1 (2). Our 265 currently paid members com- pare to 230 for 1978. It is still obvious that we have much to do if we are to surpass Or reach the $12,000 goal from memberships for the current calendar year.
