<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">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.

<div><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">I certainly agree that we should look for a place without a monthly fee. Does anyone know of such a place?<br>
<br>
Also at the last GREN meeting, we agreed to meet before the April meeting to come up with a plan on the website.<br>
<br>
Let me know any other issues you would like to discuss.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<br>
I've just been informed by a BMO staff that starting May 1 they are going to charge us $2/monthly fee.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Can we set up a meeting time in March to discuss this among other issues?<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
