Financials
October's information has not yet been accounted for in the reporting. So far this year, excluding all of October, we've brought in Approximately $2208, $3350 came in for the masquerade ball, bringing our total to over $5500 for the year.
Again, this does not include monetta or classes from October.
We now have enough members of CUUPs National who are members of the church that we do not have to pau the chapter membership dues.
