• Financial Report — We had $950.43 in our bank account. $260 was paid to the City of Davis for use of the Veterans Memorial Center for our 11th anniversary meeting in January ($200 of which is a deposit). $6.55 that was owed to Bill Kendrick was paid back. Not counting today's donations, the bank account total is $683.88. We are still waiting to hear back from Dos Coyotes regarding the fundraiser we held a number of months ago. So far, emails from Bill Kendrick have been unanswered. Greg has followed-up, and will follow-up again by phone. $8.24 in voluntary dues were collected.
