The rules of the credit union are not very accommodating to our needs. TCF has nationwide locations and totally free checking with a specific amount. We will be able to meet those requirements easily. We will have to pay for checks.

He is not donating the system to the Barony, but if someone would like to use it, please contact Aaron.<BR> <BR>Aaron asked what happens now to the money that was raised for the sound system. The Seneschal said that the money goes back into the general fund, including the $200.00 that Aaron thought belonged to the singers, specifically. Aaron suggested that it should be made clear that money is never specfically earmarked for a certain group. <BR> <BR>More discussion to follow.<BR> <BR> <BR><EM><U>New Meeting Site</U></EM><I><U><BR></U></I>The Corner Brewery in Depot Town in Ypsilanti is suggested as a new meeting site.
