Dr. Hafez reported that our files regarding membership, Journal subscriptions,
and legal position as a non-profit organization were in order. The membership roster
will be distributed only every three years to the entire membership since new members
would be listed for review at each Annual Meeting. At each Annual Meeting, copies
of the new members should be available to those who attend the mee~ing.
The Tax Payer I.D. number has been established by the LD~ernal Revenue Service
(38-2138414) .
With regard to the logo contest, the design submitted by Dr. Duane L. Garner
was selected as the emblem for our organization. The Executive Council directed the
President to obtain an artist to create the official logo in order ~hat it may be used
for subsequent stationery. The contest winner will receive one gear's subscription
to Andrologia as a reward for his effort. A copy of the Annual ~ting Program 1977

The Members unanimously accepted . and approved the report of the Secretary.
II. Report of the Treasurer:
Dr. Alexander emphasized that until our organization was of considerably
larger size, we must be cognizant of the need of continued ou~side financial support.
In the last general News Letter a request for constructive criticism was submi tted
to the membership. At present, there has been no response to ~hds question. An
outside audit of the Treasurer's books was found to be in order. Importantly, the
papers for establishing that our society is a non-profit organization have been filed
with the Internal Revenue Service.
The Members unanimously accepted and approved the report of the Treasurer.

The membership of the ASA now stands at 360. This represents an increase of
138 since the First Annual Meeting in Worcester in April 1976. This very rewarding
rate of growth is due to the efforts of many individuals, bu~ par~icularly important
contributions were made by Drs. Bartke and Odell, who kindly agreed to distribute
informa tion about ASA together wi th the announcements of this meeting, by Dr. Howards,
who publicized the objectives and the activities of ASA in several urological journals,
and Dr. Lobl, who prepared the text of a letter used to inform the prospective members
about ASA and its objectives.
