Final Decisions for ACF Funds
How much, if any, of the Yochem Estate, should be withheld from the non-endowment AFC Yochem Fund and retained as an immediate cash resource? All dollars in this fund can be accessed but it may take a week or two to get them should that be necessary.
Withhold $20,000 in the Wedbush account for emergency funds.
We will need a check for the balance for ACF. See minutes for notes as to how much gets what.
ED Report:
Future of the Brown House?

Does the public need to be made aware of the outside camera usage? Dave Miller will look into it and let Marylee know.
