[GREN-Exec] Update and Invoices

Mon Feb 14 23:23:44 EST 2022

Hi John,

So glad to hear that it was your credit card.  I received the following notice at 9:00am this morning.  Because it was addressed to Patrick Perte the previous web programmer, I presumed that it was his credit card that was being charged.  I also presumed that I would have until Feb 21st before they charged the card and that I would have to have it transferred from him to my card in the days ahead.

However, at 12:33pm I received a notice that the credit card had been charged.  I wondered how this happened so quickly and worried about how we were going to get a hold of Patrick and get the funds to him or have to work with Exact Hosting to get things reversed.

This is fantastic news to learn that you have paid and taken care of the invoice today!  Thank you!  I will leave it to you to follow-up with Greg to get reimbursement for this amount as it is in the budget for our Greenbelt Foundation funding.

I appreciate the follow-up and getting this issue solved.

Cheers,
Kevin.

>> Now that the Wilmot MZO has been successfully defeated, our GREN website is finally up and running, the ROP process is back on track with far more ambitious scenarios, and all the meetings as well as the press conference for the Greenbelt West expansion have subsided I have finally had time to focus on administrative things such as invoicing.

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.
>> 
>> Once again, I am donating half of the hundreds of hours that I have put into things and only invoicing for the other half to try to stay within the budget from the Greenbelt Foundation.  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.  
>> 
>> Currently we are well within budget on the Greenbelt Foundation Grant and the Ecospark Grants.  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.  
>> 
>> We should be receiving another cheque for around $20,000 from the Greenbelt Foundation which will be the payment for the remainder of the grant that we can use for the costs of completing the ROP and guiding things on Greenbelt expansion for the months ahead.  
>> 
>> While most of GREN continues to volunteer their time on these activities please let me know Greg and Susan K. if you are feeling that the time you have been investing in recent activities such as the website or administration is such that we should be providing some compensation as well.  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.
>> 
>> I have an $200 invoice for the GREN website hosting that I will need to pay on my credit card this week.   I also have a $50 cheque for GREN that I need to get to you Greg to be deposited.  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.
>> 
>> Please let me know any questions or ideas.
>> 
>> Thanks,
>> Kevin.
