The June report was deferred until the next meeting.
Social Fund – the last breakfast had a loss of $38 and George Irbe suggested that perhaps the honor system was not working and we should use tickets. Barb Riddy explained that items for the next breakfast had been purchased and were in the fridge/freezer so the next breakfast would have a profit. No change was officially proposed.
Vending Machine Report – The snack machine has $296 and the pop machine has $398 left to pay down until they are completely paid for by the profits from the machines.
The treasurer reported that the chequing account at the end of May was $65,549 but that during June we purchased approximately $78,000 worth of fuel. That put the chequing account at ($13,000) but with fuel sales we will be fine and the big bills are now paid for and we have fuel inventory. The treasurer also reported that he transferred the $20.00 from the Gaming Account into the Main account and closed the Gaming account.
Moved by Murray Welte to accept the May 2012 financial report and vending machine report.
