Approval of September 2008 Minutes: Change closing time from 7:55 to 7:35. Accepted as amended. Chairperson's Opening Remarks: Provided by Matt. Financial Report: Provided by Eric. In regards to Cecil’s question a couple meetings back, Eric learned that the interest on our various accounts is as follows: (1) savings-0.25% (2) activity-0% (3) IG-.03% (4) Book Bank-.03%. Don had a question regarding how our IG schedules were accounted for (when a sale is made of $0.10/schedule). Does the money go back to the Book Bank fund, and if so, why doesn’t the Book Bank pay for the production of the schedules? Eric will check. Liz asked why the numbers reported on August Q1 and Q2 were different from this months numbers? Eric will check. Misty asked why the admin expenses were abnormally high for this month. Eric explained that this is when the expense hit to purchase new file cabinets (old ones damaged as a result of the burglary some time back). It was found that the numbers in the group donation columns do not add up correctly—formula may be wrong. Eric will check. Report tabled to allow time for Eric to address these items.
