Just a comment from the side-lines, it seems this bank is a poor match for
GNHLUG if they're so inflexible. I've never heard of anything so
rediculous, you should only need 2 signatures from the organization (usually
president and treasurer) at most and a signature card should be more than

Thursday evening, I picked up the bank paperwork from Heather.
Yesterday (Saturday 23 Aug), I brought it to the bank. Alas, they

As I recall, the decision made at the last board meeting was for
two-signature checks. That is, checks printed such that there are
spaces for two signatures on the front, w
Good call on the clarification issue.
For clarification, I set up an account for Linux International, not

posting to this list and getting agreement to do this.

That was my thinking as well, but the rest of the board seemed to
think that two signature checks would be
One other thing.
I did not ask about checks that needed two signatures. I have never
used these in an organization.
I rely on the treasurer keeping accurate books and having them
reviewed/audited every once in a while by other parties, including the
president.

Okay... I took a vacation day and went to St. Mary's Bank Tuesday

apparently eager to help, was also rather clueless. There was some

we're not a for-profit business, but

Typically a small non-profit wants an interest-free account.
0.30% ~= 0% + Interest and Dividends Tax filings... The bank should
have an account that fits this bill - I've used Citizens for NPO's
and they do.

OK. Last time I tried this (about 20 years ago), I was told a "signature

and they may not have understood what I wanted.)
Its nice to know GNHLUG's bank can work with signature pools.
