Good Morning Everyone!

I wanted to give you all an end-of-year snapshot of how we’re looking financially.
  • Earlier this week we paid the first installment of our carpet expense ($2,925.00). The total bill is $8,775.00 which we will finish paying when the installation is completed.
  • We owe one more installment to CPM Home & Outdoor (contractor) of $12,118.79. Which will be paid after the job is completed.
  • We’ve sent 135 letters to local businesses in Maryland asking for their financial support.
  • We’ve paid our Mission Share (formerly referred to as “Apportionments”) in full. Our total for 2022 was $12,327.96.
Here is a snapshot of our bank account balances:
