Treasurers Report – Fred Wollman

Fred provided the Treasurer's Report for January, stating the three PAC accounts (Checking, Money Market and Bus CD's) totaled $80,043.77.

 

Fred also provided a full-year 2005 Financial Activity Report, explaining the key revenue and expense areas of the PAC. Some highlights show that most areas for revenue generation are up, with totals from 2005 of $151,995 being 15.8% higher than 2004. Concessions, memberships & sponsors, and camps provided the majority of revenue, with merchandise sales, flowers, bricks and miscellaneous items providing the rest.

 

Total expenses were $136,292 up only 6.4% from last year. Major expenses were the new weight room and equipment, a donation to the high school athletic fund, a new football scoreboard, cheerleader mats, track tent and meet software, and recently, a new tractor for the baseball field and basketball shooting machine. Of note is that 60% of membership revenue goes directly to LRHS athletics for use on many projects.

 

Thanks goes to many, many volunteers who have helped improve the facilities and provided equipment to the athletes of Leesville Road High School.

 

The Treasurers Report and December minutes were approved.
