Education/Scholarship Fund

Teresa Hintzke reported on the two recipients (see report elsewhere).

Old Business

Helen Chong reported that at the May 2004 meeting, we had a $1000 tax return bill from the accounting firm which is $2200 now. The bill used to be paid by Shirley Munyan, but now we have to pay it ourselves. Roseann Levy recommended that we change to a different firm that would charge a fee of only $150. A motion was passed that chapters do not have to reimburse PPSEAWA-USA for putting out the money to pay the bills.
