Davison thanked IWA employees for another great year. He closed by identifying further reductions in operating costs and continu- ing control of water rates as IWA's major challenges for 2004. Vice President/Treasurer Andrew Schroder presented the treasurer's report. He indicated that IWA remains a very financially sound company. He indicated that IWA's water sales revenue in 2003 was down by only $200,000 compared to 2002, while operating costs were unchanged. Cash reserves exceed total debt by around $2.2 million. Finally, Schroder discussed factors which will eventually lead IWA to request a rate increase at some undetermined point in the future. They include inflation, security enhancements, causeway restrictions and additional facilities to serve increasing water consumption. General Manager Roger Blind then presented his annual report on operations and accomplishments in 2003, and plans for 2004. He said that annual water pro- duction has remained virtually constant for the last four years at around 1.2 billion gallons per year. Blind discussed accom- plishments in 2003, highlighting capital improvements and water conservation. For 2004, he noted that IWA would undertake 24 new capital projects costing $1.8 million. He also noted that efforts to control water demand will continue, along with steps to supplement IWA's ability to sup- ply water. Blind discussed changes at IWA over the last 15 years. He said IWA has one less employee than it had in 1989, although there are 1,000 more members and water production is up by 150 million gallons per year. Revenue has increased over $2.2 million and cash reserves are up by $6.3 million. The great majority of IWA's capital facilities has been replaced or upgraded over the last 15 years, lead- ing to a much more reliable and efficient operation. Blind closed by thanking IWA's employees for the skill and dedication they have shown over the 15-year period, which made all the progress possible. Finally, Directors Andrew Schroder and Robert Wigley were re-elected for an additional two-year term. Following the meeting, directors met to select officers for the 2004-2005 year.

The Planet Quiz Show is cumently running at the ASD Planetarium, in Allentown, PA, an original fourth grade contest where student teams duke it out with their collective £ brainpower about basic solar system concepts and the latest information about the planets. The last program before the Spring Break featured the Planet Bashers vs. the Comet * * Crashers. The excitement was so electrifying that students in adjoining classrooms later told me that they could hear the clapping and cheering as the Basher and the Crashers proved that education can still be very exciting. Name the (bur hard and rocky planets in the Solar System. What makes the sun look like it is moving across the sky? Who was the inventor of the telescope? What object in our solar system does Mercury look like? Rocks that fell from space and hit the Earth are called? Name the nine plahets that go around the sun in their correct order. How do planets shine? What makes a comet look like a comet? Little hearts pound, and bodies sweat Everyone is focused upon winning, and there is no prize except the thrill of victory itself. By the end of the second or third program depending upon my schedule, 1 am beat, often tongue-tied, and in need of major hy.dration. But it is an incredible amount of fan and a wonderfal experience for the kids. If 1 didn't have a wireless microphone, and a topnotch sound system and die help of volunteers, like Matt Gustantino of Orefield and Mike Stump of Allentown, the program would never have achieved the polish that it has today. You can take The Planet Quiz Show by going to www.astronomy.org and clicking on thePQS ban- ner. Go to the questions and have a ball. Just remember that you'll have lo come to the ASD Planetarium to hear the thunderous cheers from (lie kids as they battle each other for the victory.
