I will then deliver those checks to the foundation for them to deposit into their account and when I receive a check from the foundation representing the total Casino Night check deposits, I will in turn deposit the Foundation’s check in the clubs Activity account.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>I think that will be the simplest way to handle it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Harold<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> rotary-bounces@lists.mcn.org [mailto:rotary-bounces@lists.mcn.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>JPorter631@aol.com<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, February 15, 2015 9:19 PM<br><b>To:</b> schuler.donna@gmail.com; Rotary@lists.mcn.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Rotary] Regarding ticket sales for Casino Night<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div id="role_document"><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr><td width="100%" style='width:100.0%;padding:5.25pt 5.25pt 5.25pt 5.25pt'><div id="role_body"><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Bodoni MT",serif;color:black'>Keep in mind checks made out to the Foundation are NOT available for meeting the Club's expenses and avenues of service.

We could discuss, or maybe run a scenario, because I expect I'll hear some questions, such as how much of the funds raised from Casino Night are to go for various projects?
