treasurer's report: Ameenah reported that obtaining a tax ID has become more time-consuming and rigorous than previously. She will be assisting with the LIFE program at DBVI, and therefore her first opportunity to attempt to open a new bank account will be the first week of July. Christine will be attending convention, so she will have her name added later.
Prior to the meeting, Christine was informed that the Fairfax Chapter benefitted from the Potomac Chapter’s auction with proceeds of $1306.30. However, it was believed based on services and items offered to benefit Fairfax that this amount might be revised upward.
(Subsequent to the meeting, it was learned that there were additional funds from auction proceeds of $582, which brings the total from auction proceeds to $1888.30.

The chapter voted unanimously to assist Jacob Hamm with convention expenses with $100.
Jeremy Grandstaff provided a lively discussion of his frustrating job search. He used the acronym PIECE, and during his discussion, he recommended three books:

There will not be an August chapter meeting; there will be a social gathering, probably at Rita’s Ices. Details will be provided after the National Convention.
The meeting adjourned shortly before 5:00 PM.
