We additionally tend to donate $1,500 to charities such as Rail Trail and Food Pantry. We would like to give the Contoocook Railroad Museum another grant of $3,360 to staff the Visitor Center. That brings expenses to $5,914. The remaining $3,200 could be spent on brochures which have been about $1,200 per 800 brochures. We have sufficient savings that we can deficit spend this year if that is desired. A goal for 2022 is to increase membership so that we can increase our donations and possibly increase staffing at the Visitor Center. P. Miller recommends we reach out to our members to increase the number of people on our Constant Contact mailing list. The list currently has 542 members. Increasing this list will benefit our member since our twice mounth emails go to the entire list. With an increase in the list, we might also see an increase in membership.
