Happy New Year!

I recommend approval.

In October we decided to fund Zao rent for a 2 month trial period- to determine $ amount of average class collections, to get data to figure out whether we can afford to cover possible rent shortfalls long term.

During November and December, Zao cash collections shortfalls averaged $11 per class, or around $40 per month. We can afford it. 

Monday night cash collections at journeys more than cover gym rent. Journeys excess collections combined with occasional demo fees received average around $100 per month. 

Zao Thursday night class attendance could very well increase and stabilize during the less hectic second semester, enough to cover rent. But in case it doesn’t, we can easily afford to continue funding rent shortfalls at the current level.

Also, the annual Halloween dance is usually MkeSCD’s loss leader.  But this year we had good attendance by lots of generous dancers and no subsidy was needed! We actually came out ahead by about $700 due to ticket sales exceeding expenses ($200), cash donations ($200) and auction proceeds ($300). 

I recommend continuing to pay Zao rent and covering possible shortfalls. Please vote yes or no. No rush, but I’d like to pay Zao rent on Monday.

Love,

Your treasurer
