Recycling - Would anyone like to take this over for Dave T.?
New business: outing finances - we need to either increase costs or decrease spending due to over spending. We agreed to increase camping trip fees to $25 per trip and see if this corrects the issue. It is questionable if food costs or camping fees were the issue.
