University Park 125th Anniversary Print Sales

How to purchase:
Email art@upcc.us to arrange the purchase of one or you can use PayPal.
Where Dues Go
In 2009, the UPCC had a 30% budget shortfall between expenses and revenues. In 2010 we closed the gap to just under a 10% shortfall. Our expenses stayed nearly the same ($6592 in 2009 verses $6652 in 2010) but our dues payers increased in 2010. If you were a dues payer in 2010, we thank you for helping to close the gap! Now, we are looking to 2011 to be the year we no longer have a shortfall. If you have never been a dues payer or you have yet to pay in 2011, please consider doing so. If you are curious as to what we do with that income, below are two graphs that show the sources of UPCC income and where that money goes. (Questions? Email vp@upcc.us.)
