Audits: February 2009 Archives

    This audit package marks the second reign after Seven Sleeping Dragon's promotion to Barony status.  I have had the honor and pleasure of being Monarch during this time.  This reign would have been much more difficult if not for the assistance and contributions of the rest of SSD's monarchy (Regent Page Leah, Prime Minister Man-at-Arms Griffin, and Champion Woman-at-Arms Braith).

    SSD managed to raise 251 cans/packages of food weighing in at 222lbs during our Thanksgiving and Christmas food drives.  This was an impressive amount considering the state of the economy, and the fact a majority of our group is college students.  This topped our last year's total of 220 cans/packages.  All food was donated to the Food Bank Coalition of SLO.

    We again held demonstrations at Cal Poly and at San Luis Obispo High School in a recruitment attempt.  We are elbow deep in the process of paperwork to hold a booth at Cal Poly's Open House.  

    Regent Leah once again jumped through many hoops with Cal Poly to obtain our annualized funding.  The funds are unused as of yet, as we are throwing around ideas and budgeting its use.   We have run 2 Arts & Science nights (with two more planned this reign), using the materials purchased with last year's endowment to make tunics and swords.

    Our group ran into smaller numbers over December break, which is typical for the group (mostly college and high school students).  Inclement weather also hampered meeting times.  With sunnier times and students back from break, our numbers are stabilizing once again.

Baron Deimos
Monarch of Seven Sleeping Dragons

As per our contract with Dragonspine, we are required to submit several items to provide proof of our existence, and justification for our exalted Baronial status.  As always, the list is copied and pasted below, with the actual required details posted beneath each item.

o Copies of bank statements and financial records for the past six months

Our statement from ASI - our equivilent of banking through Cal Poly - resides here, and a copy of our ledger accompanies it here.

Baron Deimos included the following letter along with the file:

The bank statement provided with Seven Sleeping Dragons audit package is a printout of the bank statement provided by the Cal Poly Associated Students Inc.  Seven Sleeping Dragons is also a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo university club, going by the name of The Amtgard Society of Poly (Cal Poly Group #73440), and as such, are provided a club bank account through the Cal Poly ASI.  Funds in the account are accessed through written submission for reimbursement of funds through the ASI.

Item 12/5/08 was a deposit by the Cal Poly ASI.  Cal Poly ASI provides $500 per fiscal year to any club who makes a request for the funds.  This is the second year our group has taken advantage of this policy.   This is the only activity in the account from 7/1/08 to present.  Cal Poly has control of the account, and this is the only statement available.

The monarchy is currently soliciting ideas and budgeting for use of this year's disbursement.

o Copies of sign in sheets for the past six months

Due to the eccentricities of my scanner, some of these are a little crooked, but they are all present and accounted for, and have been combined in to this attractive and compact file.

Thanks to income during period when the ledger was elsewhere, the current available cash balance of the Barony of the Seven Sleeping Dragons is $124.24.

o Results of most recent crown quals

After a brief panic, the results of the most recent Crown Quals have been located.  They are located here.
The results of the Warmaster are in this file.

o Results of most recent crown elections

Baron Deimos, Regent Leah, and Champion Braith each received 10 out of 10 votes cast during the last elections.

While we are no longer formally required to submit proof of advertising, it nevertheless seems advisable to do so.  This flier is one of several designed along similar lines (but with different pictures exhibiting different fighting styles) that we currently hand out and post.
