  • Account $45,643 as 7/30/10
  • Concern about our renewals in various organization was raised by Marlene. All of our memberships are paid except for CAD. We possibly paid a two year membership and there is no place on the site for organizational memberships so I have written to them for clarification. As soon has I hear from them I will let you know the status.
  • All bills are paid and up to date. In particular the liability insurance with the new carrier was paid. I am still getting bills from Hartford.
  • Two days ago I received a package from UPS Store. In the package was about 20 memberships renewals several of them post marked July 2nd. It is clear they don't understand what weekly means. I have talked to the staff and I have talked to the owner and apparently they can't follow instructions. Really need to find another place.
  • In that package was an invitation to sponsor CSDR the Dead Silence Dinner. $500 Skeleton Sponsor (cheapest sponsorship, highest is $2,500)  will receive recognition at the event, 4 seats at the table and half page ad in the program bank.The event is Oct 28th.
  • CSDR has also asked if we would like to volunteer to work at the Deaf National Prep Volleyball tournament. This will take place from Oct 1st through the 3rd. They need help in four areas - admissions, hospitality, statistics and general.

The current balance is $47.796.94 (as of Dec 31st)

As all of you know I was finally able to get setup with online banking and that I now have a Visa/Debit card. Robin is setup to also get a Visa/Debit card once she goes in to the branch in Manhattan Beach and signs her paperwork. She is aware that she needs to do that.

I was asked to give an update on the budget but actually I see little need. I have had no bills to pay that would really influence the budget and no one has asked for reimbursement (except for Robin) so your numbers are pretty much what they were when we established it during the summer. If you disagree let me know and I will get a revised one out to everyone.

I have written a check to Castway’s for $1,500 for the Lou Fant Memorial Banquet, a check to Robin for $1,396.21 for reimbursement of her expenses to RID and a check to Duane Rumsey for OhSoEz for last year. I verified that a check was never sent to him last Spring and also checked the bank statements.

I took a hiatus during most of December from doing any work as treasurer and I am now back to getting two things completed. I am nearly done with the tax return I have until the end of February to have to completed. I will contact Michael Michner this week regarding doing the audit for us. I have had one conversation with him already. Once we talk I will send an email about the outcome to all.

I was asked by Robin if I have Quickbooks 2010 and the answer is yes. However, Quickbooks is over kill for our organization. I would be much cheaper to update each year Quicken for Home and Business and is actually an easier program to use. I use the program for my personal and free lance finances and it does everything I need or SCRID would need. Quickbooks is setup for payroll which we don’t need. So I am thinking of moving over to Quicken and should be able to get a refund on Quickbooks.
