Agenda

Disaster relief fund follow-up

• • Need to make it a general Disaster Relief Fund with something on our website that we have such a fund
  • David has created application form on docusign that asks about relevant issues that qualify for charitable funding.
  • Individual relief victims need to submit an application to receive the funds raised for them.
  • Question about setting up sub account for this fund. Unify has said we are at the sub-account limit. We agree that a separate account for this isn't necessary.
