10. Annual Report 2021 and Budget 2022
Budget was approved by Regional office July 17, 2022. The Kent breakfast school item denied stating that it had not been approved for several years as there was no confirmation of the need and no acknowledgement from Kent School. The June BBQ was approved but request will need to be submitted separately as budget was not approved till after scheduled event which was postponed. The maximum amount that can be used for meetings is $90 per up to six meetings a year so this line item was lowered.
