Financials
For 2008, we've brought approximately $1530 and our goal is $1500 for the year, so we're doing well. $35.00 of the $250 budget has been spent for the annual CUUPS dues. The Masquerade ball has a seperate budget, but CUUPS will still get credit for the money raised.
Education Class schedule for the year:
Thoughts for the rest of the year are welcome. Suggestions were given by the Wicca 101 class. A few suggestions given were for Wicca 201 classes, Divination, and others.
