Earlier EC announced that CHCA funds wouldn’t be used for the Centennial. I agreed
with the statement at the time. How can CHCA not contribute financially? That was never my intention. Share info to help decide what $ CHCA can afford and we’ll vote on it next meeting. Need income/expenses for last year ready for next meeting.
BONDS $3500 Sign & Centennial. 10% contribution. 8 classes / workshops. Spend
funds as granted.
Review Income.
Review Budget.
Think on CHCA $ contribution.
Sponsors for Centennial. Asking for additional contributions. Businesses. Friends – folks that used to live here. We will contact them if you aren’t comfortable with doing that.
