Hi everyone,

I am not sure whether or not we should make a motion regarding using some of the general fund for the technology grants as we previously discussed. Do we want to add to the amount given of $500, say to 750? Or do we just want to allow the current balance to be depleted and then fund it for the future? We know how expensive technology and training  are and fundraising has been very difficult.
