Treasurer
  • Account balances:
    • BB&T balance as of 10/03: $10,562.82 available
    • WePay balance as of 10/03: $0
    • Stripe balance as of 10/03: $1.34
    • Square balance as of 10/03: $0
    • Total balance as of 10/03: 10,564.16


  • This month's income:
    • WePay - $504.25
    • Stripe - $1022.27
    • BB&T Deposits - $384.25 ($114.25 of this was cash from Bill's raffle. Thanks Bill!!)
    • Square Deposits - $67.77
    • Total: $1978.54


  • This month's expenses:
    • UDI Rent - $1640.00
    • Linode.com - $20

Considering for half the month that this was the first time we implemented Stripe use, we did well. If we had not had our insurance payment, we would have been in the black by about $300 if our average monthly expenses total $1660 without other supply purchases.
