All of it comes from Members, donations and sponsors and 100% is spent for the benefit of the community. Here’s an approximate breakdown; Most of the money goes towards keeping the website, newsletters and payment systems functioning. The next biggest is on the landscaping crew and supplies such as soil and plants, followed by Social events such as Playgroup, Easter, Halloween and Spring Social.
