Treasurer’s Report Treasurer, Dan Kerr The boosters appear to be on solid financial footing. Fiscal Year 2015-2016 closed on 6/30/16 with a cash balance of $54,792. Finished work for the year on 7/31/16. The annual audit began in August. As of 8/7/16 the current cash balance is $60,632, which includes the Dance Team cash balance of $5,839. Total operating & fundraising income from 2015-2016 was $169,661 and the expenses were $159,663, resulting in a net operating income of $9,998. It is typical for a non-Florida band trip year to have a surplus; Loss in 2014-2015 was $12,106 (trip to Disney World). Band Registration, including Pirates Ticket Sales for 8/22/16 game, is complete. Received net $26,019 to date but paid out $9,690 for game tickets. Expect to receive a few more payments in August.
