Analysis: Income and expenses have both decreased over the past five years due to fewer activities.
Dave is considering moving some of our funds to our money market account. Dave also reviewed each year of Summer Sounds on his laptop computer. Bob suggested that each committee look at the budget to see what the trends are and consider long-range projections. Contact Dave if interested in obtaining data. Colina moved to approve the report. True seconded; motion carried.
Arts Administrator's report: Mail was distributed. Sam received a request from Hillary Clancy on behalf of Centre Playhouse to meet with BHCA at the May meeting to introduce Centre Playhouse and discuss the organization's activities.
