Fundraising: Joseph suggests in his coordinators’ report that we use the mission of 72 to collect $10 per month from 72 people ACTS should have enough monies to operate for the year. Cece suggests that the core team participate in making the donations and collecting donations. A potential difficulty was mentioned that a charitable ID is needed and a way to collect the funds is also needed. The pastors will be consulted regarding this issue. Having a committee to initiate fundraising in this manner was suggested, the topic will be discussed at future meetings.
