Remember that the post needs everyone’s support to be successful so please come out and partake of as many activities as you possibly can. Any ideas that will help generates income would be greatly appreciated. See you at the Post.
Finance Officer – Dr. G. Vincent Barrett
The Post continues to do reasonably well financially. Although we did sustain an overall small loss for the month of June due in large part to the remaining wall and sewer line repair cost that came in June. Overall for the month of June revenues have been stable with gaming holding its own. Our reserve position is holding steady and the bar and kitchen continues to do well although revenues are down some from this period last year. The bar, kitchen, gaming and pull tabs as well as special events are performing as we expected for this time of year. The Post should be able to remain on a sound footing throughout the next fiscal year.
