FISCAL YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 2001
Report of Income & Expenditures

By Herb Fibel
Our efforts in the past at setting forth our annual financial report in the form of pie charts have had pretty miserable results.  This year I thought I would simply lay it out by the numbers, rounded off to the nearest $50.  We had to dip into our financial reserves for about $1,700 in order to cover the shortfall.  If you have any questions about Maricopa Audubon's finances, if you would like to be on the finance committee, or if you would like to be assistant treasurer, please give me, Herb Fibel, a call.  My number is on the back of the Wren•dition.
