Treasurer's Report (D. Dietz)

Has deposited $20, making our total now $372.56, and she talked to Nancy about the two accounts. The account Donna reported on is the "University Senate" account (#1067) and it's essentially "our" money. It is where we store money so that when we are ready to give scholarships, it's available. The other account is where we transfer the money *to* once we are ready to give it as scholarships. That is the "University Senate Scholarship" account (#538). At the start of the semester, we had $675 in that account, and now $750 has been removed to pay for a scholarship, so we actually owe $75 to that account now. That is fine, because we have enough in the other account to cover it. However, in essence, our "net worth" is now $297.56. The Foundation usually withdraws $750 per semester for scholarships, but if we cannot raise enough to cover it (or almost cover it) then we jeopardize having that scholarship. So, we should raise at least another $450 before the spring semester or during the first week so there will be enough to cover that scholarship.
