Treasurer Report

Greetings, projectiles -

This month you have the single report that carries the most information, which is what I'll be distributing regularly from this point forward (possibly augmented by special reports as suits my fancy). This is the Departmental P&L, which has a column for each venue as well as a column for "FP General." I am filtering out advance sales for the Paxton show to keep from skewing the Minstrel's monthly performance numbers, something that I am NOT doing with the Getaway, since there's really no month-to-month profile to worry about. (If you're interested, QuickBooks advance sales for Paxton as of March 31 were $2,606.83, a seemingly odd number that's a function of the PayPal fees.)

At month's end, we had about $16,340 in checking, $21,600 in the Money Market and the usual $230 in the petty cash boxes at Minstrel and Swingin 'Tern, for an operating fund of $38,170. That's up nicely from where we were at the end of February, and a good part of it is prepaid admissions from the Getaway and Paxton.

The second exhibit is the cash-on-hand graph, and you can see that while we haven't yet turned the trend line upward, we have certainly flattened it out. The $10,000 Minstrel sound donation has been filtered out of the graph totals, which is why they are less the account balances reported above.

Questions are welcome, either now or at the meeting. As usual, I'll bring a couple of copies of these reports with me, but if you want a hard copy for reference, please print on your own.

Yours in folk,

Chris
