Treasurer’s Report - Gary

• James has been working real hard, Gary has been without books since the last week in October, working on a solution.
• We will update quickbooks to the newest (online) version, so that we can work on it from multiple versions.
• James has been analyzing Wildapricot, and putting a ton of stuff in spreadsheets

to get up to date with something similar to a budget.

2022 Financials “It’s an attempt to get us to where we need to be, we are not there yet” -James Lancaster (don’t rely on this for anything) “We will get there” -Gary Rustin worked with the area leads to hopefully create a budget for the next year. Will hopefully be done by Dec 8th.

James moves we buy the Quickbooks Online for $75

Rustin feels this is under the amount the treasurer can spend for this Ethan seconds Motion passes by acclimation
