Treasurer’s Report
At present there is 30,319.46 in the bank. There are two deposits to be made which will give us a balance of 31, 504.24.
We lost $413.00 on obedience trial. We did make a $500 donation to the Springer Club for their help in unloading and unloading the equipment. Total entries were down, even though we had higher obedience entries.
Adams County has one contract for the two shows which means our deposit of $300 is being transferred from obedience to agility for next year.
We made $190 on rent a ring. This money will be used to make the Novice A baskets at our obedience trial.
We made $3330.92 on the agility trial
We received a thank you note from the English Springer Club and The Freedom Service dogs for our donations to these clubs.
