If you will visit the OUCH web site, "Committees" page, you will see a word under each committee. That word is "Reports". Here you will find out what OUCH is doing. Here you can look at the Bugdet Committee report and see an accounting of the money (you will also see that the convention is funded from "convention registration fees" and not from OUCH dues).
For those that are insulted by not being to access the "Members Corner" of the site but refuse to pay your $25 to join and see whats there. Never fear. There is nothing there! Everything that was there has been moved to the public section. The Members Corner will be used for the ballot to vote for Officers (only members can vote).
Where does the money go? Nowhere yet. Oh a few hundred went to the Feds as a registration fee for the tax exempt status. We should probably be giving some to DJ to pay for the web site. The rest is sitting in the bank waiting for some sharp clusterhead to come up site a good use for it. It's not enough to fund research (yet). How can we use a few thousand dollars to do the best for the most? We're looking for answers.
