Polio Plus income behind- does member donation to Polio Plus go towards club goal? Will get information from Sara RE:individual member donations 

5. Expenses:
Membership Development- could we use balance to support RI?
Food Box- will likely need additional funds, Foundation received 5k grant for food box and would like to reserve some for next Fiscal Year
Need to write check to San Miguel
South Valley Rotary Grant Committee – each club puts $1050 into this for global grants and each club gets a turn. Angela wrote a check, they did not receive it. She issued another and they cashed both.
Possible that these were both due, one for last year paid late and one for this year paid early. Kathy will facilitate recon between the SVRF and Club payments
