Total: $126,551.95-- but it turns out there was a mistake in the original data entry: $3008 from Dec.22, 2016, was not entered until January 2017. When it's credited back to 2016, the real 2017 income number is $123,544 -- which is quite close to the IBD total.

*When the cost of materials and staff are added, this enterprise will most likely show very low income, or even a loss. Ten years ago it made money for other park programs, but much has changed -- including the fact that there is much better bread available in stores than ten years ago. Also, farmers' markets have become very common, and they all have bakers. Time for city staff to stop baking bread for the market?
2011: $5680.20
2012: $3090.18. First stage of central management: frequently short-staffed so pizza days often had to be cancelled.
