2014 Meet Accounting & Club Budget
« on: August 29, 2014, 01:23:13 PM »
As promised, here is the breakdown of the website costs and meet finances.

Essentially, for the prior year (running from 09/2013 - 08/2014, we ran at a loss of $140.49.  The reason for that was that the website costs, thought to be around $120.00, actually totaled $314.49.

For the current year (running from 9/2014 - 08/2015), we'll be at a loss of $172.97.  (That includes donations made by members, Thank You for those donations!)

Any questions?  Feel free to ask, thanks!

Doran, I don't think anyone here wants you to be absorbing the losses and next year looks even worse. Do you think we could set up a paypal donation link (i think i have seen these before) where people could randomly donate money to help pay for the website. Then once everything is evened out we could remove or turn off the link? If you send money via paypal using "friends and family" there are no fees for either party. If all the currently active members chipped in 2 dollars you would be covered.

Well, that's appreciated Jason.

I post the budget only to keep everyone in the loop that here's where everyone's fees go.  Nothing more.

Doran, I agree with Jason Toni and I cannot always help with the work but we are more than happy to make a donation to keep the group solvent.

I would agree and request a PayPal donation link or PayPal payment information also - we wanted to give a donation anyway because we had requested the $17.50 day-tripper boat landing cash access and then weren't able to bring the boat, and the way things worked out we never were able to connect up with anyone at the campground - but we had planned on making a $20 donation that day regardless to make up the difference.

It's of course easier in person (when we attended the 2012 meet we gave a donation to Brian to help defray a few costs), but PayPal would certainly make it easier since we're not in-person with you guys very often.   :)

Let's hold off on the donations until I get some clarification on what all the services I'm being billed for are first.

Thanks!
