QUESTIONS<br />
Mrs. Karleen Brown wanted to know if: the permanent shares account was the<br />
account from which members were not able to make withdrawals, if the interest<br />
payment for voluntary shares was set, what was the rate and if such payment<br />
would be charged against the expense account of the organisation. The Treasurer<br />
responded in the affirmative regarding the permanent shares, that interest for<br />
voluntary shares was set, proposed interest rate was not available and that same<br />
would be an expense to the organisation.<br />
The Treasurer at this juncture extended thanks to Mrs. Karleen Brown – former<br />
staff member for her invaluable contribution to the organisation.<br />
