Re: [Drama-Committee] Musical
by Jennifer Tweed 06 Feb '08

Hey guys, Remember we said we'd try to get a second cheque book with Steve and John and I as signitures on it? I went into the bank today and they said that we cant have another cheque book with different signitures. We can either set up a separate musical account or change two of the signitures temporarily to Steve and John. It would be a shame to lose two of the committee signitures from the account but I reckon having a second account could just get messy. What do people think about changing the signitures on the account to me Pauric, John and Steve, just while the musical stuff is happening? Let me know asap, because I want to get back into the bank as soon as I can. Thanks, Jen
