So it seems that we need an annual financial report, and we need to have a clear idea of what we want to use the money for. "Ongoing operational costs" is not applicable; but improvements are. We need to very strongly describe our community involvement and what we give back to the membership/community. I think that with some planning we could put together a persuasive application package, if we have some members committed to working through this. Who is willing to meet about this next Tuesday, after the meeting, at the boardroom table? I'm proposing we go through the checklist and see what we need. Jay, do we have an annual financial statement? Would you be able to draft one up for us? ~Justin On 20 February 2013 15:11, Courtney Lofchick <[email protected]> wrote: > filling out forms, providing budgets, reports etc. > here's the website if you want to take a look > http://www.mbcsc.ca/home > > On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 3:04 PM, Justin Lacko <[email protected]> wrote: > >> So what is standing in our way of doing the bingo thing now? >> >> >> On 20 February 2013 13:16, Courtney Lofchick <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> When we were at Adelaide, we needed quotes for the work and >>> the materials.
