<DIV>The quote from the accounting firm was between $200 and $300. The fee is
contingent upon the number of ballots received to be tabulated. The charge
by the publisher was $275 for printing, $100 for mailing, plus postage. So
- the total cost of getting the ballots out is $575-$675, plus postage.
Very expensive for NSRCA.</DIV>

<DIV>Maureen, so the costs are 300 for the ballot printing and mailing
and another 300 for the counting by the CPA. Is that correct??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>For everyone's information. The ballots were
prepared and mailed out by our new publisher - for around $300 plus
postage. The return address has Mr. Campbell's address simply so he
can keep the ballots that were not delivered because of an address change,
or incorrect address. After the ballots are counted and the election
is over, the undelivered ballots can be returned to the secretary to follow
up in the database. The addresses come from the database that is used
to mail out K-Factors, so the addresses should be correct so all current USA
members will receive a ballot.</FONT></DIV>
