2018 Year-End Results

We ended 2018 with a surplus.

• Income was inline with the budget
• Expenses were less than budgeted.

Total Income for 2018 was $1,269,718.

• Income was approximately the same as in 2017 and very close to our planned

Budget

Expenses in 2018 were below budget by ~$87,000.

• Biggest savings came from the timing of new staff hires and having an open

Assistant Rector position

• Other areas of the budget were largely on track with our plans
