TREASURER’S REPORTBy Tammy Coghill
December 31 marked the halfway point for PTA’s fiscal year. Based on our current income and expenses we are still right on track with our budget. We have our final scheduled Fundraiser coming up in March. Make sure to check out the details for the Las Vegas style casino night auction...tickets are already on sale!
As of our December Executive Meeting, total YTD expenses are $20,043 while total YTD income is $39,141. Major expenses that have occurred since our last newsletter include $1,636 for 5th grade shirts (offset 100% by income for sale of the shirts), $533 for K-3 Movie Night (offset by $482 in ticket sales), $571 in Classroom Enrichment to the teachers and $377 in Communications/Copies cost for newsletter printing. The significant sources of income since our last newsletter include $266 from
eScrip and $156 from Flyer Nights. We are excited about the financial status of your PTA so far this year and we are excited about the 2nd half of our fiscal year. With our upcoming 1st annual Auction Fundraiser and several Community events still to come (including the Father Daughter Dance and Mother and Son activity), your continued support is appreciated and extremely valuable to the many programs your PTA continues to provide. Thank you!
