Part VIII response or note to any line in Part VIII Part VIII, line 2a: The $38,162 decrease in salaries reflects two primary factors: closures and staff displacement in the first quarter due to regional fire and closures with limited on-site staffing in September during roof HVAC replacement. Part VIII, line 8c: Due to regional fire , the Garden Tour Fundraiser was cancelled and replaced with a one-time birthday fundraiser, which is reflected in the line item. While this resulated in higher revenue for this event, it primarily represents a shift in the timing of contributions that would otherwise have been received through the annual campaign.
