2007-2008 Budget vs Actual, H&SC
The YTD collected for membership dues remains $29,420. Based on slightly higher membership dues than forecast, and based on some expenditure under budget it is projected that we will have a break-even ending balance for this year’s budget. We started the year with $14,570 in the checking account.
Our balance in the checking account as of April 16, 2008 is $27,938.73. Expenditures to date total $16,155 leaving approximately $12,000 as forecast expenses.
ACTT 2007-2008 Budget vs Actual
The YTD total received is $29,845. We expect that for the remainder of the school year all the financial activity will be reimbursements for grants and awarding scholarships. We have awarded $27,700 in grants. $3000 in scholarships will be awarded in June. This brings our projected expenditures for the year to be approximately $32, 250. However, since we had a higher-than-average carryover, we approved expenditures greater than revenues for this year. It is estimated that we will have a balance of approximately $10,000 at the end of this year.
Reimbursement requests have started to occur with $19,892.58 paid out as of April 16. The current balance in the checkbook is $24,390.49. We will have a balance of approximately $10,000 at the end of this year.
CASA Fashion Show Update given byVicki Thorburn : Two shows on April 26th; tickers available online, 82 students and 14 stores participating.
