  • Treasurer's Report

    • Hey y'all! It's me, shmoney
    • I have been doing a bunch of treasurer stuff since I was elected at the AGM!

    • As I mentioned at the last OGM, I had to increase the price of juice boxes from $0.50 to $0.80, and recently, we raised the price of confectionary bags from $2.50 to $3.00. Both of these decisions were made so we could purchase them for sale in the clubroom reliably, while at least breaking even

    • I have been on many food runs in my time as treasurer (I'm starting to learn which can flavours are which)
