Treasurers report:  Detail since the beginning.  City books reconciled to what Eric and Nicole had recorded.  A checking account has been opened at Annandale State Bank and $16,000.00 have been put into CDs at Star Bank.

 

Financials:  Because we are not meeting monthly, requests for withdrawal can be emailed to the board members for approval.  Whatever the treasurer report shows in each groups account can be used at each groups own discretion.  Renee motioned this decision, Megan second the motion.  The motion passed.  Renee will create an invoice for groups to use to collect funds for services rendered.  Make sure to make and keep a copy of all receipts, invoices, and deposit or withdrawal request forms before turning them in to the Treasurer. 

 

Checks and Balances:  ACT has an independent annual audit.  Tara Partridge or Denise Robel will look at it at the close of each year. 

 

Brainstorm Ideas:  Target 10 people to approach with a folder full of information about becoming a sponsor in support of ACT.    Should that sponsor support all of ACT, or let them specify which group within ACT they would want to sponsor-does this work?  Individual contributions:  give people a way to support us, there are people out there waiting for the right cause to invest in.
