Treasurer’s Report:

$11,000 in the bank, thanks in part o classes & donations

Plus $6K for repairs

November is when the two leases combine (building plus new annex)

Due to monies coming in # of members, classes, donations), we can cover both leases

Brief discussion on reimbursements; there is a budget line for repairs & maintenance, but it depends on what the payment is for (the comment was don’t want to tune up a sewing machine, rather buy a new one)
