There were questions of using our 503.c tax free discount and having Ermenrich using his Meijer discount when purchasing the supplies. We could use one or the other, but not both since if Ermenrich uses his discount he is not a tax exempt group. So the plan it to use Ermenrich’s discount since it’s better than the tax free savings.
