Finance
Committee - No More Volunteers Required
The finance committee handles the money and bookkeeping

has been / will be spent. It also keeps track
of which families have paid the admission. The
finance committee will set up a chequing account

et cetera. This chequing account should be kept
open throughout the years and used for every family
reunion, especially if there is any income or
expenses between reunions.
