Treasurer

We are continuing in positive financial territory, with about $13,000 in checking, $17,500 in the money market and the usual $230 in petty cash. I'll probably move some of that surplus in checking back into the money market, since we don't need much to cover day-to-day expenses. Our net operating income YTD is about $7,500.

A few interpretative comments.

The Getaway shows in here with a net operating income of $1,396.12. But this number is slightly depressed by some bookkeeping confusion. The camp applied some of our standing deposit to our rent in October 2015, but we didn't find out about it until recently. Since the books are closed on 2015, we had to apply that rent expense to this spring. What that means is that last year's rent was understated by $575, and this year's rent overstated by the same amount. So the "real" 2016 Getaway income would be $1,971.12 (considering only transactions related to the two weekends held this year).

There was also an unusual situation at the Minstrel in October, in which the venue bookkeeper was puzzling out a tally sheet issue and unable to close the books by the time the performer wanted to leave. So we deposited her earnings at Wells Fargo (both her performer fee and creel) and mailed her a check. The Other Income line for Minstrel is that Creel money, which is offset by a matching Miscellaneous Expense. I'm trying to think of a way to post these transactions to the same account, so they would just show as a zero (the way Performer Sales do in the Getaway column). So far I haven't come up with one, but I'm still mulling it over.

Happy to provide answers if anyone has questions.
