Area 75 Treasurer’s Report


Copies of the Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Budget V Actuals Report as of September 30, 2006 are available. The amount in the reserve fund remains at $3000. Checks written and contributions received in October are not reflected on this report. Currently contributions are ahead of last year at this point however expenditures are also greater.


The finance committee met last night to review expenditures as part of our ongoing audit. Plans for preparation of the 2007 budget were discussed along with several possible proposals to submit at the January Agenda Planning Assembly. Reports by budget category of expenditures for 2006 to date were given to each of the officers and committee chairs for their area of responsibility.


Record of contributions by group to Area 75, Rainbow and Count On Us funds is available for review. I continue to THANK those who use the contribution form. Identifying the group a contribution is from continues to be a problem for groups that do not include their 6-digit GSO group number. The contribution form is available on the area web site (www.area75.org). Your help in furnishing complete information for all contributions is needed and greatly appreciated.


I want to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me to serve as your treasurer this past year. When I was elected Alternate I did not expect to be performing this duty but I have enjoyed my work. I also want to thank the Finance Committee members for their work and guidance.
