Finance
Committee Update |
The
financial statement for February shows that our givings thus far this year are
about $1,000 less per month than last year at this time. We are also giving much
less than our budget for 2010 anticipated. We have given $15,111, but thus far
our budget anticipated givings of $19,167.
Rentals
are also less than last year: $690 for two months compared to $1,075 this time
last year.
Thus
far we have no fundraising revenue.
We have
spent about $500 less than last year at this time.
We are
currently giving to M&S almost $1200 per month.
Here's
to giving more this year, not less!

Hinchliff, Chair
of Finance Committee
