Financial Report:

Treasurer, Frank Corcoran

RC Chuck Stroh and I have spent many hours going over the budget. I emailed the reports to the directors and ask that you review them and let me know of any concerns. Not much happens in December. We had some dredging and Fin work. Any questions please contact me or bring it up at a Board Meeting. VC Brian stated that there was some question about the bar sales reports. RC Chuck Stroh informed everyone that they changed the reporting method last year, and some things are in different categories of the report.

Motion: Moved by PC Hugh Vestal to approve the financial report. Seconded by Rich Goodman.
