Discussion: At each LG meeting, I will provide a Treasurer’s report for the end of the preceding month. That way, going forward, we will be able to make accurate month-to-month comparisons. Beginning in March of 2013, I started paying rent for the Sanctuary at the rate of $25,000 per month, as decided at an earlier LG meeting. Sofia.
