*$48k surplus this year, compared to deficits of $98k and $70k in the previous years. As of Aug 31st: $99k in operating acct, $17.5k in Casino acct (which pays rent). The biggest changes in our financial status this year were: the donation drive earlier in the year, removing the executive director (at his own recommendation) in February, and closing the south shop in July.

*Audits were done for 2022-23 and 2023-24 financial years-- the latter is not quite completed due to some delays, the audit committee got all the information from the treasurer last week. An audit commit with 10(!) volunteer members did a really good job. The audit of the 2022-23 financial year was favourable. They did recommend exploring options for inventory tracking.
