Hi Ann, I suggest the board meet and sort the finance issue. The last meetup was too chaotic and I am afraid I am no longer going to attend any meetup unless all the cornerns we raised regarding finances are addressed by the board. Best Isaac On Aug 27, 2012 7:43 PM, "Ann Njeri" wrote: > Hi all?

Oscar, As the vice chair of the board, is your work to question every little thing people do? There is a proper way to handle issues. That does not mean avoiding them but it also does not mean confrontation. You are part of the board, meaning you are on the board's mailing list, why did you choose
