Mural Project $1,454* Expenses - $7,460 Grapevine printing $3,450*…National Night Out $1,200…Mural Project $2,760* *discussed below Ending cash on hand - $39,53 Notes from above. The Grapevine YTD has $2,462 more in revenue than expenses. This will change in the next couple months with the next publication later in the year, but let it be said, The Grapevine is a winner for our community, no matter which way you look at it. The Mural Project cost $5,520. A beautiful mural by Paul Homan. All the cost (plus more) was covered by individual contributions by our neighbors-YOU. Some minor financial reconciliation is under way, but there is no doubt that this project was a winner.
