[GREN-Exec] Update and Invoices

[John Jackson]

Kevin

What is the web siting invoice that you have? I just paid a web site hosting invoice today on my credit card for $144US. Is the invoice you have something additional?

I'll forward the invoice to you that I paid today. You can see at the bottom that it is paid.

Please find attached his invoice for November thru January 15th.  Perhaps you can drop a cheque in the mail to him for this.  Please also find my invoices for November, December and the first half of January.  Greg there are a total of 7 attachments below - hopefully they come through okay on your computer.

Our grant runs from July 1st, 2021 to June 30, 2022 and our spending has been lumpy with almost no activities on the Greenbelt or ROP last July and August, some activities in September and October and then considerable activities in November, December, and January.  I expect months ahead will be lumpy as well with some months quite busy, others quiet.

Our deliverables have been well received with good progress on stopping the Regional Official plan for a more ambitious one, successfully defeating the Wilmot MZO, and raising awareness about Greenbelt expansion with an astounding 38 media and news articles on these three issues alone in the past few months.

It’s a balance of trying to get things done, not overwhelming or exhausting people, and trying to provide some level of compensation for those putting in really significant efforts.  This is new to all of us and I’m trying to figure it all out and balance things as best possible.

Perhaps you can let me know when these cheques will be ready for the invoices below and I can drop by your porch to pick them up and get this other cheque to you to go in the GREN bank account.
