I think it was understood that if our revenues did not increase that we would have to use monies from the Belasco Fund in particular to pay for the Childrens books and programs. We discussed the fact that both the Belasco and Gazin families had inquired as to whether we needed more money. Nothing was decided for certain in that regard. We won't have to transfer funds from the memorial accounts until and unless we run out of other funds. Hope that's clear as mud Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: lillulu57@aol.com To: cc.Lawson@verizon.net Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 16:52 Subject: Re: Meeting FOL Hi Carol, As I am typing up minutes from our last meeting....need your help: 1.. Did we approve $6500 for Elmita (or is that still hanging until quarterly report from Jan-Mar 31)? 2. As far as I can tell, we did not vote or approve a transfer of established memorial funds to cover the deficit? We discussed it and left that hanging also??

Hi Diane,
I believe we approved the $6500 based on the proposed budget that George gave us. I think it was understood
that if our revenues did not increase that we would have to use monies from the Belasco Fund in particular to pay
for the Childrens books and programs. We discussed the fact that both the Belasco and Gazin families had
inquired as to whether we needed more money. Nothing was decided for certain in that regard. We won't have to
transfer funds from the memorial accounts until and unless we run out of other funds.
Hope that's clear as mud
Carol

2. As far as I can tell, we did not vote or approve a transfer of established memorial funds to
