Felicitations in February to Area 46 members!
We had a great assembly in December in Taos ! Thank you to District 14 for your excellent hospitality!
The Finance Committee again enjoyed two committee meetings, both of which were well attended.
In the first meeting we focused on the budget. The Budget was explained to the committee meeting participants who agreed to presentation of this budget to the assembly for approval. Thank you, Area 46, for approving the budget as presented! Your Finance Chair is grateful!
In the second meeting, a plan to address our non-profit status was developed; we are currently designated as a for-profit entity. Because an informed group conscious is important, please look for information, (risks/benefits, pros/cons to becoming a 501c3 non-profit corporation) to be distributed to the DCMs and GSRs after the March assembly. The hope is that at the August assembly we can discuss this question during our committee meeting and a motion be presented for voting upon at the December Assembly.
Your Finance Committee is meeting monthly on Zoom on the first Mondays 7-8pm. In the upcoming months we will be reviewing the current financial situation, as well as creating documents for the education of Area 46 members on +/- of non-profit status. If you are interested in participating in this discussion or wish to better understand the workings of Area finances…DO JOIN US! We are NOT a glum lot ????
