Budget for 2016-17 approved; fundraisers under discussion

 

Budget approved

Following discussion of the accounting for the Community 2000 contribution, the Board decided to move that annual $5,000 expense to a contingent expense line. Because the amount of return on this has fluctuated in recent years, it was felt necessary to not lock in the amount without more consideration at the appropriate time.

The roughly $40,000 budget was approved

Charitable requests

With no new requests on the table, Pres. Liz reported that the donation to Clarke Memorial Library for a STEM/STEAM Maker Space had been delivered.

Strawberry Shortcake Booth

Now that the rebuild of the shortcake booth has been rescheduled for this year, the suggestion was made and the Board agreed that a trip to Kloter Farm in Connecticut to research pre-fab sheds would be a good idea.
 
 
In addition, the Board continued discussion about our other fundraisers, in particular, about the plans for a spring gala.
