EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT: PSGCNJ 2012-2013 Budget: By the Numbers

By Kenneth Hitchner
Last week, PSGCNJ’s Executive Council announced a $5,400 budget for its first year in existence as an independent organization.
The bare-bones budget provides for 12 months of continued operations for all member services and advances PSGCNJ’s path toward tax-exempt status on the federal and state level.
Members can help fund operations by sending a check to our new address: PSGCNJ, 726 Route 202 South, Suite 320-129, Bridgewater, N.J. 08807.
Another way to support PSGCNJ is to donate any of the “in-kind” items listed below, for example the white board or DVD/R.
