GO FINANCE!!!
We want to wish Brian Tenenbaum a Happy Birthday!
Kevin Murphy: Any questions for Finance Committee.
Michael Averill: Birthday Envelope. Is World going to supply them to the Areas? You gave us 2 envelopes.
Tom Walsh: They will be sent like the Newsgram in shipments. There is no charge for the envelopes. Just send the money back.
Bryan Seid: Could you possibly bring some here so I can take them back with me?
Tom Walsh: Yes we will do that for you.
Jennifer Searl: Donation can. Are they are for sell or are they being donated to the Areas?
Tom Walsh: They are not for sale. You can see the flyer on the inside and you can provide your own can when you print the flyer on a sticker.
Kevin Murphy: Thank you Finance Committee for all your hard work. Next up is PI Committee.
