Treasurer Report

• The month of July results were marginally OK to slightly negative:
  • July Revenue [$5,014.80] improved somewhat, recovering make-up missed payments from prior months.
  • July Expense [$5,154.78] includes the Bambu 3D-printer FAP expense at [$1,596.45].
  • July Net (Revenue minus Expense) was negative at (-$139.98).
• The Year-To-Date results are tight and somewhat unfavorable:
  • Actual YTD Revenue [$30,938.36] continues to trend below the target budget YTD revenue [$35,000].
  • Actual YTD Expense [$28,822.45] (including the Bambu FAP) roughly equals the budget YTD Expense [$28,000]
  • Actual YTD Net (Revenue minus Expense) is somewhat positive at [$2,115.91] but below the target at [$7,000].
• The take-away MESSAGE remains the same. LVL1 still needs to urgently improve REVENUE by increasing MEMBERSHIP.
• Other minor details worth mentioning include the following:"
  • The Tim VanSant Makership fund at [$1,668.80] is trending downward due to less donations and increased makership usage.
  • The Pizza Pot Luck fund is up YTD at [$322.97] due to generous donations by some.
  • The Vending fund is up YTD at [$429.69] due to steady use and discount-value soda purchases by Tiffany.
• Here is the link to the 5-page July Financial Summary Report LVL1-FinancialSummary-202407.pdf
• The task has started to open the Live Oak Bank business savings account in order to earn interest on financial reserves. However, it is not yet accomplished due to this treasurer's other-life obligations during the month. It will be accomplished during August.
