FINANCIAL UPDATE - MONTHLY REPORT
The beginning of the month means it's time for a financial update! Rockton Strong has been doing well these last weeks, and we urge everyone to participate in our RECHARGE 2019 campaign! Thank-you for everything you do:
1. To date, donations have totaled $24,071. We have invested over $14,500 in legal costs thus far. Over 93% of funds spent have gone directly to legal costs. The remainder has been spent on organizational filing costs, permits, and insurance. We have a substantial "war-chest" for legal funds, but when the trial starts, those funds will quickly deplete.
2. During the month of September, we incurred the following expenses:
Legal Fees: $2,500
Additional Legal Retainer: $2,500
Monthly Website: $16.00
Facebook boosts / fees: $18.82
TOTAL EXPENSES AUG 2019 $5034.82
3. The legal fight continues. Our next court date is Oct 16. With our judicial stay still in place, it's likely we've pushed construction well into 2020, if not 2021. The injunction stops them from any construction until we've received a ruling, and the trial will not likely take place until well into 2020. THIS IS WHAT WINNING LOOKS LIKE!
4. As a part of our strategic plan, we launched our "RECHARGE 2019" campaign. The campaign focuses on contributors matching their 2018 donation, and seeking out corporate support.
We are humbled and THANKFUL for the support we've received thus far. To help, PLEASE consider matching your 2018 contribution or making your first contribution in 2019.
Thank-you for making this community ROCKTON STRONG.
