    1. Cathie McCoy (Treasurer) Resignation

    I regret to announce the resignation of the ABI Treasurer, Cathie McCoy. Cathie struggled with this decision for some time and concluded that this was the best decision. We appreciate all of the fine contributions that Cathie made during her time on the ABI Board. She established a standardized Chart of Account system which will enable us to have meaningful comparisions of income and expenses from term to term. She developed new financial reports for Board use which enable us to monitor our finances in a timely fashion. And, she revised the financial information which has provided better information and communication for the Brat population. Her humor and wit will be missed. We wish her well with her future endeavors.

    ===================================


    2. Message From Cathie McCoy

    With regret, I have resigned as Treasurer of AramcoBrats, Inc. effective immediately. The ABI Board and I will work to ensure a smooth transition of my duties per the ABI Bylaws.

    This decision was hard to reach, but due to a change in my personal circumstances, I am not able to perform the duties required of the position and feel that I am currently hurting the organization by remaining in place.

    I know this will come as a shock to some - but I assure you that my respect and affection for and belief in the ABI and its Board is in no way diminished. I wish you and the organization every success.

    For those who have been or will be directly affected by my inability to do my job in a timely manner, I thank you for your patience and extend an apology for any difficulty I have caused you.

    With much affection,

    Cathie McCoy, RT'74

    3. Replacement Treasurer Needed

    Cathie McCoy's recent resignation from the ABI Treasurer's position leaves the ABI Board with a critical vacancy. I would like to invite any Brat with experience and interest in business finance to consider submitting their name to fill this position.

    The ABI Treasurer is the equivalent of the Chief Financial Officer of the organization, responsible for overseeing a budget that approaches $100,000. Anyone interested in this position should be familiar with both Excel and Quicken, and be able to devote several hours each week to fiscal management and participation in the Board discussions and votes.

    The Treasurer's position is normally an elected position, but since Cathie's resignation comes in mid-term, her replacement will be appointed by the Board. Cathie has told us that she is available to consult with her replacement to help them become familiar with her responsibilities and her records system. Support is also available from other Board members to help our new Treasurer throughout their term.

    Anyone who would like to know more about this opportunity, or would like to submit their name for consideration, should write Gary Barnes, who chairs the ABI Nominating Committee, at gbarnes@ne.rr.com. Please describe your credentials and experience, and why you would like to consider becoming the ABI Treasurer. Participation on the ABI Board is a serious commitment, but one that brings with it many personal rewards and the satisfaction of helping to keep the ABI mission alive.

    4. 2005 AramcoBrat Directory

    We have had several unavoidable delays in the reunion wrap up which affected the mailing of the 2005 Directory to those Brats that paid their AdBak and were unable to attend the reunion. Our current plan is to get them in the mail next week. We thank you for your patience.

    ===================================


    5. Auditor Needed - Stay Tuned

    We are looking for a volunteer to audit our books for the 2003-2005 term. Our heartfelt thanks to Annie Oskam who has done this for us for the past several years. She has decided it is time to retire. :-) More details in the next Announcement. In the meantime, if you are interested, please contact me (diana@aramco-brats.com) or Gary Barnes (gary@aramco-brats.com.
