Accomplishments
We pulled off the District Conference! The club was able to break even on the $75,000 budget. The feedback from other clubs and District Governors was this was one of the best District Conferences.
We completed the District Grant project for the Literacy Garden. Thanks to all that helped. Received $3,000 from the District matching our Clubs $3,000 and an additional $10,000 from fundraising. The little libraries are being used by families and the library.
We met the Presidential Citation by increasing membership.
Managed the Clubs finance under budget! Our operating accounts were $43K expenses of $42K for a net of $417. The foundation $89.6K expense $68Kfor a net of $21K. The club had planned to do a global project, but was tabled therefore we had a surplus built up for next year.
