• Treasurer's Report

  • Hey y'all! It's me, shmoney
  • I have been doing a bunch of treasurer stuff since I was elected at the AGM!
  • I applied for an O'Day Grant, and we received $381.50
  • I applied for an SPG to bring Can Hall to Cam Hall, and we received $39.38

  • Additionally, we received $920.35 and $1000 for a 2019 Sem 2 Grant -Correction, and our unpaid 2022 SPG respectively (thank Jackie, not me)
  • As I mentioned at the last OGM, I had to increase the price of juice boxes from $0.50 to $0.80, and recently, we raised the price of confectionary bags from $2.50 to $3.00. Both of these decisions were made so we could purchase them for sale in the clubroom reliably, while at least breaking even
  • I helped organise and run J-Camp this year
  • I have been on many food runs in my time as treasurer (I'm starting to learn which can flavours are which)
  • And finally, at the start of the year, our account balance was $4548.82, and despite dipping throughout the year with numerous large returning investments (b i g food runs, camp deposits), our account balance now stands at $7807.48
