Before anyone starts talking about reducing expenses via the obvious (EN or 
year end awards), I'd like to know if AERC has had an audit or other review 
to discover how efficiently it is being run financially.  Aside from the 
rides themselves, the EN is the only contact most members have with the 
organization.  All the EN has to do is break even (I don't know how close 
it comes to that - and I do know it's been discussed on this list before 
but I HATE going through archives!).  Awards can be financed from the 
"outside".  So I guess what I'd like to know is how I can get an accounting 
of AERC's expenses.  When does the profit/loss stuff show up (or does it?) 
in the EN?
