Report for 2021 was reviewed.

The Kate Spade donation has been an annual donation. We did not give a gift to UCC in lieu of rent, but did incur expenses for our Zoom license (which is paid through the end of this year). There were increases last year to both our post office box rental and insurance.
Budget approval for 2022- Expenses that we see continuing are Zoom, and our website, which has a $119 fee for 2 years. Joanne will send a check directly to Lesley Malouin for the website fee.
