<p>The only reason I'm asking is because GREN is not doing an
environmental election forum this year because 100 Debates on the
Environment is. I'm hoping the other groups we had partnered with
for the debates in the past will be stepping up and providing some
financial support in the riding that is most suitable for them. <br>

<p>Dear Exec Members:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>GREN's credit union account balance on July 31 is $1.527.30.
The starting balance on Jan. 1, 2019 was $2009.61. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We had income of $118.95 ($80.00 from 4 memberships @$20.00.
and $38.95 from "donations to defray expenses" at the event at
First United Church).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Our expenses were $604.26. Banking costs were $3.00 per
month. and a new booklet of blank cheques (enough to keep us
going for a few years) was $39.27. <span style="font-size:
12pt;">Our expenses for events we supported was $543.99.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I attempted twice to reach the
person who was said to be managing our our website and email
list, but never got a response from him. I don't know what
is owed to him or someone else.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><font size="3">Regarding Susan's request for support for the
debate. Susan, how much is the rental cost in this case?
All of you, please let me know whether you wish GREN to
contribute and how much you think is appropriate. My
suggestion is to make it conditional on there being a </font>voluntary<font
size="3"> </font><font size="3">donation box like Laura had
at both the Kitchener town hall and the First United event.
This brought in over $200 that was shared by the supporting
organizations. GREN's need is obviously not as great as
that of some of the other supporters and we can opt out of
accepting anything if we want.</font></p>
<p><font size="3"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="3">In the future, in the interest of
accountability, I think we should ask for a rough estimated
budget from those seeking support for campaigns and events.
Then we could decide if the request is reasonable - and
even if it's too modest, or we might have a suggestion for
additional sources, whether financial or in-kind, that the
worthy organization or group hadn't considered.</font></p>

<div>Before deciding on how much to contribute, I need to see
our financial status from Greg. Also I wish we knew what our
financial needs are to update our website and to keep it and
our e-mail list up to date.
