In opening a corporate account a the new corporate bank in Wisconsin, Ron is required to have the Secretary fill out this form, below. She must certify that the Board of Directorys has resolved what the form details. Most of what is asked for has already been addressed by the Board, and is already in our Bylaws in most cases. However, there is one new point. Accordingly, I'm calling a votecall of the Board via e-mail. Please reply promptly, as time is of the essence here.

Since Shirley is legally blind, after much weekend discussion between the Officers and the Internal Auditor, we concluded that taking the option of appointing an Assistant Secretary, for this instance only, be done to expedite this matter. If Clipper is the Assistant Secretary for this instance, and both Ron and I sign the form confirming his appointment, then the account can be taken off hold status. Right now, we have $1,500 in there, but cannot access it!

[ x ] Yes, I appoint Clipper as Assistant Secretary for this instance only.
Clipper, Gerard, Ron,Nancy, Shirley, Jan, Geson, Michel, Roger

[ . ] No, I do not appoint Clipper as Assistant Secretary for this instance.

Please read the bank form, below, and respond to this votecall.

[ x ] Yes, I approve point 6. below, and affirm points 1-5 below.
Clipper, Gerard, Ron, Nancy, Shirley, Jan, Geson, Michel, Roger

[ . ] No, I do not approve the entire set of points, below.

Existing Bylaws or Resolutions:

  1. First National Bank and Trust of Baraboo IS the corporate bank already, per a May 25, 1999 Board vote.
  2. Troubled Times, Inc. is our official name on incorporation papers, IRS papers, web site, etc.
  3. Allowing checks, debit/credit cards, wire transfers, etc are already in our Bylaws detailing how the corporate accounts are to be accessed.
  4. Our Bylaws already state that the Treasurer signs checks, and co-signed by the President if over $500.
  5. In that the Bylaws state that the Treasurer and President are elected, so changing their personage is assumed.

New Resolution:

  1. The bank is not liable if someone forges our names (so don't keep large sums in the checking account!) This is a good reason to disburse funds regularly, to legitimate grant proposals!
