Cause to Celebrate
Here’s a cause to celebrate. December income was excellent, perhaps the highest in history (I don’t have those records). Our budget calls for about $19,000 per month. We got $36,441.60. That is enough to put us back in the black for the fiscal year and pay for a lot of snow plowing. (Isn’t this snow really pretty? Aren’t you glad to have a white ground.) So far this fiscal year we have received $10,409.76 more than we have spent.
We are working on a plan to change our fiscal year. We currently start April 1. We want to start August 1. That will require a change in our policies and procedures. We will have a chance to see those changes soon. So, in April we will pass a 4 month budget. Then in August we will have a new 1 year budget. This will bring our budget year in line with our ministry year.
I need to remind you that the tile at the refreshment table and under the coat rack is placed there in memory of Joe Gjovig. I am very pleased with the way it looks, and everytime I look at it, I think of Joe.
