2007 Fall Group Funding
Please see the attached spreadsheet of group funding awards. The funds will be transferred this week.
There are two columns after your group's name - approved and provisional. The approved amount is the amount that will be transferred this week. If you have a different amount in provisional, then you will get the difference if the GA approves the by-law amendment in a couple weeks. If you have the same amount in approved and provisional you will get that amount (only once, of course).
