Savings Account; No funds moved except K Cards come in. $6200 will go out to kids’ accounts for Trip Expenses.
Not a lot of change in our total balance overall. We did have bills to pay and some outstanding checks to pay; we paid marching instructors $6500.
Scrip account had a small bump. We park money that comes in for sponsorships. That money will be transferred to the general account.
We have $20k in the bank and opportunities ahead of us..
