[GREN-Exec] BMO account

[Gregory C. Michalenko]

We had a similar problem at the Community Garden Council.  I tried to persuade the credit union to waive tyne monthly fee since we were a non-profit, but the manger said they had accounts for some 150 different charities and non-profits so they couldn't afford to make exceptions. How about trying TD - they maintain an environmental fund that charities can apply for - maybe they would waive the fee.

I certainly agree that we should look for a place without a monthly fee. Does anyone know of such a place?

Also at the last GREN meeting, we agreed to meet before the April meeting to come up with a plan on the website.

Let me know any other issues you would like to discuss.

I’ll propose a few dates here for us to meet at my house at 7:15. Let’s see if one of these works. You’ll notice that I haven’t put Wednesdays in these options. I am teaching a waste management course at the UofW on Wednesday evenings. It will finish the first week of April.

Thursday March 13

Hi All,

I've just been informed by a BMO staff that starting May 1 they are going to charge us $2/monthly fee.

I will need a GREN Exec decision to either accept this fee (i'm personally against it) or try to find another bank or credit union that will offer community accounts at no cost.

Can we set up a meeting time in March to discuss this among other issues?

Thank you.

Theo
