UPDATE: FINANCE COMMITTEE/GO FUND ME:
Good afternoon. I wanted to update you on what we have accomplished so far today.
1. Go Fund Me - I received a notification stating that our withdrawals are being held pending review with a short list of things to correct this which simple entails updating the Go Fund Me description with the following information:
a) if I/we are related to the person(s) I/we are raising money for.
b) withdrawl plans to get the fund from our account to the
benficiaries and
c) How the funds will be spent.
I wanted to make you aware of this as you will see the description in the Go Fund Me will be changed to reflect this request. Once I have that step completed we will be good to go!
2. I met with the Accountant and two fantastic Book Keepers this afternoon. We will be holding a committee meeting this evening to formalize a small finance board of volunteers to make sure all funds are properly accounted for and dispersed. On their advice I contacted the bank and was able to get things set up properly from that end. This enables us to accept etransfers now as a lot of you have expressed concerns or hesitancy with the Go Fund Me. I have created a new email account linked to this account with autodeposit for this purpose. The email address is
financeconvoy2022@protonmail.com.
Thank you all for stepping up and helping me with this! I have been able to form a very professional and efficient team <3
As always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out. I will keep you updated as things progress.
Sincerely,
Tamara
