ROTARY ACCOUNTS UPDATE - As I commented at the meeting on Thurs 4 Aug - work is still underway transitioning our Rotary accounts but I hope to be able to send out Invoices to everyone very soon. The invoices that will be sent very soon will be for Subs for the period July - Dec 2022 as well as for the cost of meals for those who were on the old PrePay system but from now on, you will just be invoiced for the meals you have attended for the previous month(s). Because we pay for our meals to The Club monthly, I will need to Invoice everyone monthly.
INCOME FROM COPPER DONATED BY RUSSELL McLEAN (and organised by Mark Dowling) - We have just banked $1103.50 from the cooper extracted from the wire donated by Russell - thanks to all involved, especially to Russell for his generous donation of the material.
INCOME FROM DELIVERY OF SOUTHLAND YELLOW PHONE BOOK - Past President Mark has done a fantastic job organising the delivery of these books - we have just invoiced Yellow NZ Ltd for $3194 + GST and after a couple of related expenses, we hope to have $2800 net profit to add to our Trust account funds. This is a great fund raiser and I have indicated we would be very keen to deliver again next time - Mark will definitely need more support if he is involved again, but hopefully after this year, he now has a better idea of the process. Thank you Mark for your efforts - very much appreciated by all Members for the long hours you put into this.
TE ANAU COMMUNITY PHONE BOOK - Don has spent MEGA time and effort on next Local Te Anau Community Phone book - battling with so many unforeseen delays mostly involving the effects of COVID but is hoping to have a final copy for us to review in the next week or two. PLEASE take time to check the Draft when its released, very important we get our facts correct and then we will need a concerted effort to get out there and sell these books once available for delivery.
DONATION TO KIDS BOOKS - As you all know, we continue to support new babies and pre school children of our community by providing books. We have just spent $1500 topping up our supply of books and with our growing community, it continues to be an important contribution to our town.
Thanks
Treasurer Jane
