Overpayment to TSRSCNA amount sent was $612.99 should have been $28.98.  Beaver Valley area reserve is $581.01 short.  This month we need to retain this amount so our area is accurate with reserve monies.  Apparently I miscalculated when figuring out the amount to be sent to the region.  All deposits and receipts are available for further inspection of my error.  The total amount sent to regional since 07/11/04 $2807.74.  Please accept my apology for any confusion regarding this matter.
