Treasurer
- 76 paid members, so far
- FYI... Starting in August, PayPal will no longer allow "Friends & Family" Payments to the club. This has significantly increased the amount of fees we pay to them.
- Square!
- New to this year, we have started using Square to take credit card payments. Like PayPal, there are some fees to be paid
- Preliminary Brewfest Numbers
- August expenses - $1,150.58
- September Expenses - $4,190.23
- Income - $7.924.70
- Annual Dues
- We are currently ready to start accepting memberships for next year
- The rent for the church has gone up this year from $800 to about $1,000. Additionally, other prices are going up as well. It's been several years since we've made any changes to our dues.
- After some discussion, it was moved that we change our annual dues to $30 a year for individuals and $45 a year for family memberships. The motion was passed unanimously.
