Treasurer’s Report

There were some changes made to the Treasurer’s Report. YTD should show $3382.22 because $26.22 and $200.00 was not under the YTD column. Then the expenses of $418.72 should be deducted leaving a total of $2963.50 for YTD. An adjusted report was sent around and approved by Kim Ochoa and David Aldrich.

It was suggested to do the Treasurer’s Report as two separate pages. One page will show the expenses and the other page will show the income. Tammy Aldrich has the final say on how she presents the report.
