1. Treasurer’s Report - Valeri Boswell

Peaches check went through

If last year’s peaches check goes out, updated balance will be $9,870.63

*We will hold off until making decisions on the money until the end of the calendar year. Then

we’ll decide if we will void the check and not offer payment if the vendor reaches out.

Peaches check for the students: $2,052.00

Filed 990 on 8/15

b. MB meal payments:

12 kids have not yet paid. Leigh will send individual emails out to those families.

c. Other:

Something to consider for next year is offering a paid service to deliver peaches locally. We

already have many customers who ask people to grab their order and customers that do not

show up to get their peaches during the pickup window.

The peaches were good, but a lot of customers missed the honey and jam.

Senior pictures are now all paid for.
