VMCC treasurer presents draft budget showing small shortfall; council plans fundraising auction
Summary
Treasurer Anne Thorne presented a first reading of the council's calendar-year budget, noting expenses are stable, carryover assumptions include at least $1,000 from an online auction of donated gift certificates, and the draft shows a slight deficit under $100 before donations are counted.
Treasurer Anne Thorne presented the draft VMCC budget, saying it was built from this year’s expenditures and that notes in the document explain where expenses were higher than originally budgeted. She told members the draft assumes at least $1,000 in revenue from an upcoming online auction of donated gift certificates and that the bottom line currently shows a slight deficit "under $100," which fundraising and donations should cover.
Thorne said the council did not budget donation revenue in this draft and stressed the need to spread word of the auction once it launches; members discussed outreach and the next steps for adoption at the annual meeting, where the budget will return for approval after this first reading.
