stay. It was discussed where the funds could come from. Virgil Gordon made a
motion to have Jay contact the donor for the camp fund to see if they would
be ok for us to use the funds from there for Anna’s trip. In the event the
donor would like to keep the funds in the account for a future camper, the
2nd source would be the interest fund.
