Yesterday morning, the ground was frozen with bits of snow, but the roads were fine for driving. I found one small slippery spot, but it didn't cause any problems. I took Ray to his office so he didn't have to walk. I continued working on the reimbursements, except for an hour and a half attending orientation for a new kind of software for organizations in Athens to request volunteers. The board treasurer, Joni, came to meet with Meredith and me and that went very well. She is following up on a couple things I had trouble with (like the IRS saying we owe taxes that we paid). Yay! I listened to a webinar about why non-profits need an Audit Committee. It was about "best practice," but I am guessing that we are ahead of most organizations our size. It's good to know what we are aiming for, though. Meredith and I continue to be in agreement about most things. The budget we are proposing now has a $50,000 deficit, but that is because we did not get recommended for some grants. We can adjust it by cutting expenses or increasing donations and grants. Neither of us is worried.

We came home and Ray made mac & cheese for potluck. The Nominating Committee med once again at 5:30 to try to come up with a Treasurer. No luck yet. We did get the okay from the Board that they will name an Assistant Treasurer to help the person. Hopefully that will be an enticement that will help us convince someone. I didn't stay for all of choir, since I am going to be missing two Sundays this month, including a special music service. This is the time of year when choir dwindles, so I feel bad.

When we got home, I was studying my knitting patterns to decide what project to take on for our trip until bedtime.
