Keep Athens-Clarke County Beautiful reviews modest finances and plans spring fundraisers
Summary
Treasurer reported a small net income last month and account balances; the board reviewed grant-funded projects and outlined upcoming events including a disco benefit, a Green Life awards ceremony, and the 'Dirty Dance' fundraiser.
At its April 1 meeting, Keep Athens-Clarke County Beautiful heard a treasurer's report, reviewed recent grants and purchases, and confirmed several spring and summer fundraising events.
Treasurer Chico reported that the board transferred $172.99 from PayPal and recorded a net income of $48.36 for the prior month. The treasurer listed account balances: checking $9,327, a money-market figure reported in the transcript as "$23,3464" (appears to contain a transcription error), and a CD of $25,000. The meeting transcript lists a total of "$55,5312"; staff follow-up is needed to verify precise figures.
Stacy summarized small incoming revenue from Green Life sales and a $500 mayor's grant for programming. She noted a Rotary grant of about $6,000 to plant crepe myrtles and outlined purchases for awards, compost book distributions, and school-related Green School grants.
The events committee outlined upcoming fundraisers: a disco/percentage night that evening at Old Pow; a Globe cocktail fundraiser running in April; the Dirty Dance benefit tentatively scheduled for Aug. 29; and a karaoke fundraiser being explored for late May. Committee members asked board members to help solicit raffle donations and to complete pledge forms by the end of June to support publicity and ticket sales.
Why it matters: the board's small grants and fundraising events fund community programs (awards, compost education and cleanup supplies). Members emphasized outreach, volunteer recruitment and coordination with city departments to support cleanup logistics and equipment maintenance.
No formal budget decisions were adopted at the meeting; staff will circulate detailed balances and follow up on grant deadlines and event logistics.
