Treasurer's Report
P. Edwards contacted the bank. We can accept foreign transfers but we have to provide an account number. P. Edwards expressed his concern about security. J. Wolff suggested setting up a second account that is for foreign receipts only. The bank will charge a handling fee. Wire transfers are better than checks.
