  The floor hockey program which is also in its second year showed enough growth, with an average of 20 to 25 kids, to also be split into two groups based on age. Zumba classed were started at the end of 2011 and continue to be taught by certified instructors, Joni Livingston and Megan Wright, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.

Auditor’s Report:

Laura did note, however, that she was able to work with Michelle to complete all savings and checking bank statement reconciliations through December 31, 2011, verifying end-of-year balances to the QuickBooks records. She commended Michelle for her well-organized filing system and detailed QuickBooks entries, the continuation of prior cash collection documentation, and was very impressed with an added protocol to process reimbursements. The full audit will be completed and submitted at a later date, and Laura will provide further training to Michelle on budget report formats to help provide the board with actual spending compared to specific budget line items.
