Treasurer's Report
Bottom Line
- Checking: $1,996
Savings: $4,000
PayPal: $61
Cash: $53
- Have already paid for glasses & koozies
Still need to pay bands & catering
About $2,200 margin before we hit reserve account - v. slim
compared to 2 years ago
- get pre-purchased tonight or will be at will-call
Ticket sales are iffy after Sunday, will work with you after but no guarantees
Sold about 20 tickets so far tonight, need to sell 20 more (at least)
PayPal is our friend
Q: how many tickets do we need to sell?
Jon: eyeballing years past, we can spend $2,000 without a problem. If we don't sell more tickets we will have a very lean winter. total 200, have sold about 60
Still need ticket tent volunteers - 2:15-3:15 and 3:45-5:00
Still have membership cards - come see me!
