A BIG thank you to everyone - all invoices sent out early Sept have been paid.
Meal Invoices have now just been sent out for Sept and Oct and once again, it would be appreciated if you could pay your invoice asap.
Annual Accounts - Findex have been asked to prepare our annual accounts and have quoted a very good price of $600 + GST per entity and following a show of hands last week, members were supportive that we now look to Findex to provide this service each year. Compliance especially around Charitable Trusts, requires us to be even more prudent in managing our money so this will now become part of our annual expenditure which will be added to the funds we need to raise to support our Club administration costs.
Weekly Tankard Collection - Jane updated a recent meeting that Tankard income has dropped, and it appears that sometimes it's just not getting around all the tables each week. The money we raise from our weekly $2 goes towards are Club annual Donation to Rotary International plus the annual donation to the world Polio fund.
These 2 donations equate to $150 per person per year.
This is more than just $2 per week but historically has been topped up from monies received from our Annual Auction however, if members don't contribute each week, then it means we have to find more money from fundraising to meet our commitment to these annual donations.
I wonder, therefore, if members would like to consider being invoiced for this $150 per year? It could be halved and added to the Subs invoices which are sent out every 6 months. I will ask President Craig to add this to the Weekly Notices for comment each week or you can just talk to me directly what your preference would be - to continue with the tankard or to be invoiced.
Thanks
Treasurer Jane
