Minutes from the October 2, 2006 Meeting

Treasurer's Report
As Treasurer Mae W was unable to attend the meeting, the report was read by Kim K.

Total net worth (exclusive of $4,203.42 CD) as of today is $5,041.87.
This consists of the following accounts:

Activity since the last report on Sept. 11 was as follows: Net increase of $47:

Income of $5:

Expenses of <$42>:

Compared to Last Year:
Income higher by $249 due to better plant sale revenue. Expenses lower by $500 due primarily to less spending so far on community plant beds. Plant sale costs lower by $261 but that was offset by higher speaker fees of $150 (vs. zero for 2005).
Compared to Budget:
Income over by $1,285 ($30 due to more memberships, and $1,270 due to plant sale). Expenses under budget by $1,106. Of this amount, $800 for scholarships not yet funded, $500 for community plant beds, $118 for tree maintenance, and $150 on lower plant sale costs. We are over by $487 on the plant split, but that was more than offset by the correspondingly higher sales.

No New or Old Business
