Year-to-Date vs. Budget:
Income: We are $52 below Plan, primarily because membership is 46 vs Plan of 50.
Expenses: We have not yet spent all of the Community Benefits we had planned,
the largest delay for the $800 in scholarships. This should be spent in April.
Spending for the plant sale will start this month, starting with approximately
$90 for six printing calculators.
Year-to-Date vs. Last Year:
Income: Just about even with last year.
Expenses: We spent $200 more on tree maintenance in Heritage Park this year.
Last year we sent the scholarship money at this time, but this will be caught up
this month. A new expense for this year was for the two smokestack bricks for
$260. We have spent more on speakers so far this year, but hope to bring that
down to the average by the end of the year. The Liability Insurance cost was $8
higher than last year, and print and copy costs are up by $9 year-to-date.
