Boston Bellringers treasurer's report calendar year 2024

[lauradi rcn com]

  We had a lot of money.  We still have a lot of money, but less. Email me 
privately for exact numbers. There is petty cash money in each tower.  
Some of the guild's money is in our checking account equivalent.  The bulk 
is in a CD. 

We spent (rounded): 
           $30    masks
           $75    holiday cards (Christmas 2023)
           $51    stamps
           $128   several sets of donations to the RW/BB for performances
           $206   subscription to the paper RW
           $180   payment disbursed to ringers at the ON renewal of vows 
(treated as a wedding)
          $1195   Taylor bellhanger visit to Old North 
           $339   The NAGCR for combined dues

We received $70   donations to the ON cashbox (I only note it down when I 
see someone put money into the box. I haven't seen anybody donate at the 
Advent.  This might therefore be an underestimate).
           $300   renewal of vows at ON (treated as wedding ringing)
           $157   NAGCR dues copayment
           $238   interest on the CD
               

   There were 26 performances (quarters, peals, eighths) on tower and hand 
combined, if I counted correctly.  We as a guild added the donations for 
most of those, although there might have been a few left out. The system 
is to let me know when something is submitted, and I'll add the donation 
to the site.  Keep up the good work! 
It was nice to have a professional bellhanger in the towers, but sheesh it 
was expensive.  Greg negotiated with the Advent to pay their share.  We 
didn't do that with Old North, so the guild paid. 
I think that the push to get people to join or renew the NAGCR at the same 
time was successful.  
Interest on the CD was higher last year than it is likely to be for the 
near future, I suspect.  

   Thanks to Danielle for being the co-signer on the account, to Ed for 
doing the tax form, and to Emily for spreadsheet assistance.
