No Treasurer’s report

Dues notices were sent out by Glynis Littlewood. They are due in July.

A discussion was had about who does our audits and when was the last one done? How often should they be done?  The president needs to be added to the bank account. Should we require a 2^nd signature on all checks, or maybe for over a certain amount.  What is the $3,000 scholarship for and who was the recipient?  Can we get a more detailed description of monies going out?  Glynis will email Gayle with these bookkeeping questions/suggestions.
