Treasurer’s Report

Henry Knight indicated that the current balance in the PPC account was $847.99. He explained that a refund was given due to the fact that the PPC did not have to pay for Dennis Kucinich’s return flight at the annual meeting. Henry Knight brought up the issue of the importance of maintaining an awareness of donation sources. Data needs to be collected, especially on donations via website. John Behrman suggested that reports (including Treasurer’s Report) be submitted for informational purposes so they wouldn’t have to be formally adopted. No vote was taken.
