Financial Report: Elizabeth Beer

Budget is reflecting our typical spending pre-pandemic so these estimates may be high if we have to stay virtual. We will revisit our donation to the scholarship fund when we have a better idea of the coming year. Budget will be attached to the AGM minutes in the ‘red’ book.

Motion

Approve Budget as presented. Moved by Judy Kearly, seconded by Syl Davis. Motion carried.

Audit of the 2021 books has been completed by our usual auditor at the cost of $150.00
