Adopt-a-Family budget vote

The voting last night for the Adopt-a-Family budget got very silly.  It was late and everyone was getting tired.

Please, someone, make a motion, feel free to explain why you motion that amount, and if we have a second, then there can be discussion.

Reminder, just because you vote to approve a certain amount doesn't mean we HAVE to spend a certain amount, it just means we can't spend more.  Last year I think the vote was for $45 or $50 and we spent $43 for example.

Here is the budgeting we set in October at the annual meeting -- what do you notice about income and expenses?  Below the budget is the current treasury.  Now you have all the financial information you need to make informed decisions.
