Also within these files are copies of Newsletters sent to members tri-annually, as well as information on retirement programs at other institutions. The Fiscal files consist of bank statements, invoice records, Treasurer's files, etc. The General files are arranged alphabetically, and the Fiscal files are arranged primarily by date according to sections.
