TREASURER’S REPORT – Art Carter
A brief report of the balances and incomes of the club accounts where given by Art. A detailed report is available and up to date on the club website.

The proposed internal audit was brought before the club for a vote as described to the club by Art Carter. The goal of the audit is to have a past treasurer, the current treasurer and a club member get together to go through the accounts, numbers, expenses and such to make sure everything is accounted for and that nothing is being misappropriated or forgotten with/without club member knowledge. The vote was seconded and put to a vote and passed. The first biannual audit will take place this year. George Swartz will be the past treasurer; Art Carter will be the current treasurer and Jason will be the club member to complete and report back to the club with the details.
