Bob, I can’t answer the PIKA question, but several of us are members of both clubs, so perhaps one of them will let us know? I’ve attended some of their in-person meetings in past years (as a guest) and suspect that the rental paid for their Langley meeting hall is relatively modest.

Yes, we have substantial savings that we accumulated over the years from various sources (including, I am told, a federal government contract over-payment!). An ad hoc committee of the Exec/Board is currently analyzing our operating budget, which in recent years has been treated separately from savings.
