Treasurers Report
Band shares are coming in too slowly to adequately meet organization expenses
The band is unable to operate without our expected cash flow; we can only pay our bills if we
have money in our account
Simple solution: if you owe money for band shares, please pay your bill

Band Boosters Budget Summary: we are nearly $16,000 short (band shares still owed by students)
$15,078.89 Actual money coming in
$31,077.00 Total amount of money the band needs to operate for the school year
$15,998.11 This is the amount of money we still need to collect to meet our budget
A detailed treasurers report is available through Rusty if you need the full report
