Kat here has been on the board for some time. She went back to school a few years ago for book-keeping and studied in accounting.
She has sought out employment through larger non profit agencies and learned new ins and outs on how to do our society's books.
Without my paperwork done, I'm not getting anywhere real fast, so my daughter and a few buds, cleaned up the camper and set up shop to get my paperwork in order.
My daughter has done a lot of overtime of late, so the extra effort has been very helpful.
While sorting out receipts and years, KAt went in the house and made these DELICIOUS Chocolate covered STRAWBERRIES, rolled in crushed almonds - she used slices of cut Green Apple toooooo - mmmmmmm, good omg - once i got started on them, I couldn't stop~ DELICIOUS - her job setting up the laptop was done, so it was up to me to sort everything out...
Three years of paperwork, should be ready to send by next weekend. Then I wait on that return.
Then we start into the Society's back end.
We need an Audit and that gets sent out.
Once I can show the income and expenses on my side and on the society's side, along with documentation of the finances, then I can head back to the bank and see how much of a loan I am elligible for.
While awaiting /my and the society's returns, then we'll be preparing our individual cases, one for Recol of the RCMP, another one of that backs incidences that occured and hopefully a case that opens up the entire can of worms.
Without the help of these young ladies, we wouldn't have made it this far. WE make a great team "when" we have the chance to get together.
We held a board meeting based on our present and future options - options of direction, options of spendatures with the societies tax return.
We discussed the option of me charging the society "rent" on out buildings of my new property, as a means of further demonstrating to a financial institute, the revenu/payments, that will further enable meeting mortgage payments.
We discussed a fundraiser we've been wanting to do for a loooong time and how we have an option to use a bit of the return, towards the organizing of the fundraiser -
Paperwork, documentation, file, then audit, then file the rest - run to bank for loan approval -
Move
Set back up and wait for responses
There's been more rumors apparently....
These next few months should help in hindering further rumors
deploy old romors
and expose the trouble makers....
That alone would take a HUGE weight off my shoulders and then all the people who mean something to us can come forward - we'll have more volunteers, more support and finances backing us - with alll the "right" people -
Positive and on track.
(gawd those fruit dipped treats reminded me of the old chocolate fondu treats I use to make - they were sooooo good!)
Can hardly wait till Kat comes back next week, she took my grandson for the week as well, so he's off in Calgary - when she gets back next week, stuff will be ready to send out, so that's out of the way and we can get at the more important stuff....
later -
