checking account with a $100 personal donation, at National City in Allegan. After
depositing $552.50 from the can drive, the total stands at $652.50. Discussion
followed concerning whether a “checks & balance” procedure should be
implemented. Deb Jennings made a motion to add Dave Root, President, and Teresa
Creech, Secretary, to the signature card at the bank, and use the official address of
the club, 2063 27th St., Allegan, as the mailing address for the bank statement. Kim
Hays seconded. Motion carried. Drozd will also check into the cost of bonding
insurance. Drozd wanted to make sure that all members were keeping track of miles
driven and “in kind” donations which could be applied to future tax returns.
