Since November 12, we had income of $994 in 3 pop can checks, and $60 for campout fees.  Expenses were $92 for reimbursements from scout accounts.  Our can redemption center is up to date on payment for returnables picked up.

·         Quarterly budget review – Finances are tracking well with the budget, with pop can income about $1000 above budget.  General fund balances are about $4700 below budget, due to the $3350 August recharter not originally considered when the budget was set in June and the $1300 pack trailer renovation not n the original budget.  Nevertheless, the packs accounts are in very good condition.
