Hi Everyone!
We’re supposed to get “whomped” with snow again here! At least we figure we are going to get whomped. All the weather forecasters here have put snowmen with “Oh No!!!!!!!” faces on their weather charts. (One guy used ” disruptive weather patterns” in his forecast.) We’ve prepared here: we stocked up on diet coke, cat and dog food, kitty litter, and junk food. As long as the cable doesn’t go out, we are good to go.
Otherwise this is the time of paperwork here at the shelter. We’ve applied to all the payroll donation federations for this year, sent out donation reciepts, and set up our files for 2010. We are in the middle of being audited by a new accounting firm. (The last one was hostilly taken over last year) This means we have to “break in” a new guy. So far he’s had issues with the accounting software we use, our printing costs, and the weight (15 pounds) of the box of records we sent. Once we get through this we still have to do the IRS stuff, and write the annual report. Then its on to the spring newsletter!
