3. TREASURER’S REPORT
Gary Nestra, Treasurer, applied and received the HHWNC credit/debit card from the bank. The NC is allowed to withdraw $500 a month for expense. Gary would like to open a checking account, but needs the tax ID number for HHWNC which may or may not be possible. As it is right now, the City is the only way to get checks/demand warrants to pay expenses. Anastasia will attempt to get information to Gary.

In Treasurer training, Gary learned that we must use the credit/debit card or cash when we can and make sure to get and submit original receipts. We need to say on top of area and Issue Committee Chairs regarding submitting ORIGINAL receipts.

Gary will contact Cindy Gardner (Jennifer James)- HHWNC Treasurer 2003/2004, to help create a payment/reimbursement process for the current Board. Gary will also follow up with DONE’s Treasurer regarding audit and any changes to treasury process.

Anastasia has authorized the webmaster to stay on to update and manage HHWNC website. We owe him $167.00 for work done during the last Board’s term, and we another $485.00 for recent work on the website to date. Soon he estimates that the current charges will exceed $1000 as he is having to fix many problems so our board members can access their email. It is preferable if we can pay him in one check via draft warrant. The webmaster is updating the site with new bios and photos, as well as working directing squirrel mail emails to personal accounts to those Board members who requested it. In addition to the President, the webmaster is going to give full access to the Vice President and Secretary. Each area chair and issue chair will have direct access to their stakeholders once this project is completed.

MOTION by Orrin to continue using webmaster and pay fees.
SECOND: Jennifer
VOTE: Passes unanimously

4. DISCUSS GOALS FOR THE NEW BOARD
