*Question/Comment: (Marcel) We need more than a balanced budget, we need a budget that will be increased revenue that will allow for the elimination of the deficit and to ensure that we have financials to cover rents in 2025. $77K has been deposited to our Casino account. We have about 11mos of rent covered. This means that this time next year, we will have exhausted that and the budget will need to cover that. This is estimated to be $40K | |||
**Reply: (Greg) are you open to using funds beyond our Casino account to cover rent to allow for that money to help carry us through winter 2025? | |||
**(Marcel) Yes. That is a good idea. | |||
*Question (Coreen): When is our next Casino? | |||
**Reply (Kelly): April 2025, at Rogers Place Casino. | |||

**Reply: Yes, and it is publicly available. It will be attached to the Annual Report. Next year’s financials will not be audited as they are prepared now by a bookkeeper, so they will be reviewed and save us the cost of an audit | |||
