Minutes from the December 4, 2006 Meeting
President Susan R called the meeting to order at 7:05pm.

As there were no additions or corrections to the November 2006 minutes, the minutes were accepted as printed in the newsletter.

Treasurer's Report
Total net worth (exclusive of $4,254.50 CD) as of today is $3,775.40. This consists of the following accounts:

Activity since the last report on Nov. 6 was as follows: Net decrease of $16:
Income of $17:

Expenses of $33:

Compared to Last Year:
Income higher by $300 due primarily to better plant sale revenue. Expenses higher by $357 due primarily to funding the $800 scholarships earlier than last year. Plant sale costs lower by $315 but that was offset by higher speaker fees of $250 (vs. zero for 2005).

Compared to Budget:
Income over by $1,317 ($30 due to more memberships, $17 more interest, and $1,270 due
to plant sale).

Expenses under budget by $779. Items under budget at this point are: $700 for community plant beds, $300 for library donations, and $118 on tree maintenance for Heritage Park. We are over by $487 on the plant split, but that was more than offset by the correspondingly higher sales and $150 under budget plant sale costs.

If anyone has ideas on how the club money should be spent that is not usually in the budget, let Mae know.

Treats
The RFGC will provide tea and coffee at each meeting along with cups, plates, and napkins. The treat bringer will only need to bring a desert and not need to worry about the decorations.

Library Book Donations
Club members provided a list of titles and topics for book donations. A list of the books purchased will be included in future newsletter.
