March 31 Budget Report
Point of Contact: Terry W
| Bank Balances | 7/31/13 | 3/8/14 | 3/31/14 |
| Emergency Fund | $5,009 | $5,010 | $5,010 |
| General Fund | $10,441 | $16,781 | $17,333 |
| Laser Fund | $1,529 | ||
| Vinyl Fund | $0 | ||
Exec Summary: All accounting is current. The transition is over. Financial Fitness Grade : B+
April and May should be normal months and give us some normal data to analyze. I expect the bank balance to dip over the next two months as pent up spending hits the books. Utilities/BNektar adjustments should hit in April books.
March 31.2014 Report Spreadsheet (pdf) and a full report are in i3 Data Vault, Admin/Budget folder.
Three cheers for Budget Drone! (applause)

Key Deactivation

- A few left to handle
- 90 at $49 level
