If you are curious where ORTWS put its funds in 2014, the spending report is now available here: 2014 Spending Report. With very careful management of monies, we ended the year $2,064.79 in the black! Yay! The treasurer was a bit concerned for awhile, but we made it! The Board is constantly looking for ways to improve our budgeting and ensure we provide the most benefit to our members and remain in line with our mission.
Coming up in 2015 we do need some Member Assistance! To maintain all our current services and to provide more on-the-ground support (like grants!), we would like to get some fundraisers going. If you might be interested in organizing something or have an idea, please contact Vee Blackstone! Some ideas the Boards was tossing around include a “Run for the Wild” style 5k or 10k and developing some custom ORTWS merchandise. These projects need a leader to gain traction!
