Financials

Our budget to spend for the year is $250.00. Our expected donation to the church is $1,200 for the year. In January we brought in $665.75, in Feb, $183.00, and in March, $222.60. For the year, we've brought in $10.71.35. We're only $128.65 short of our goal for the year! Coming up we still have 2 silent auctions and the Witch's Masquerade Ball, and we haven't touched our budget. If you have items to donate for the first silent auction, but don't want to transport them to the full moon ritual on May 15th, bring them to the next CUUPS meeting.
