Lots of accounts being paid for the upgrade to the Chip Van lately - everyone has done an outstanding job and we have been very lucky to get some amazing discounts from the suppliers of services to refit the van. I will provide a total costing next month when all accounts should be in. This van is our main source of income for our Charitable Trust and with the new facelift, is a fantastic ambassador for Rotary in Te Anau.
On that note, gross income from the Chip Van for the Fishing Competition at Labour weekend is approx $4730 and another $4107 came in last Saturday at Motorama. Of course, all the costs need to come off that but a great start to the season - fingers crossed the weather remains clear and calm for the upcoming events in Dec - 2 Dec Kepler, 9 Dec Santa Parade, 30 Dec Rodeo and 31 Dec NYE.
Regrettable, we still have $14,000 outstanding from the sale of adverts for the Community Phone book. If anyone would like to donate a bit of time to make some phone calls and chase up these accounts - maybe the email address is wrong and the account just hasn't been received, it could be that the reason for non payment is as simple as that, but we do need help in chasing this along. I am sure no one wants to credit this much money without some effort. Please contact Don if you are able to help otherwise we are looking at crediting (and loosing) all this money before Christmas as we can't just leave these outstanding accounts sitting on our books.
