Financial Update – Randy Momot
We started July 1 with an excess of approximately $24000. Adding the extra $5000 MCC Rotary Walking Path expense and losing Mudfest revenue, we will end the year with surplus of approximately $6000. It is imperative that we all work together for a successful Family Funfest at Bissell’s to sell family tickets and source sponsors.
Mid Year Meeting Review
We have tried some new ideas for our meetings since July 1. It was decided that board meetings will continue to be held on second Wednesday of the month at MCC 7:30am with no breakfast provided. The balance of the Wednesday meetings will be held at 7:15 with breakfast served. Any social events will be in addition and not replace our morning meetings.
District Grant
Preparation of grant application will be started shortly.
Dues are due for first half of calendar year.
