Management posted last year’s audited financials on Friday. Tonight, via another short email, they announced that this Thursday at 7pm will be a 1-hour “Finance Meeting” in the community room.
FINANCE MEETING

7PM – 8PMBuilding 4 Community Room
477 F.D.R. DriveIf you wish to obtain a copy of our Audited Financial Statement or the Corporation’s budget, they are both posted on our website, and available in the Management office.
It’s no mystery why the board and management don’t want to make a big deal about the newly released financial report — it shows a deficit of $2.3 million, almost a million dollars larger than the unaudited numbers distributed to shareholders just before our annual meeting in December. With a projected deficit of almost $1 million for the current fiscal year, our coop is in perhaps its worst slump since privatization 20 years ago.
The board will almost certainly have to impose a second large maintenance increase this spring, which still won’t cover the deficit from the last two fiscal years.
