Coalition Finances

Use the PayPal button below to contribute to expenses. The main expense is renting a meeting room right now. Usually $5 or $10 is enough to cover costs. Sorry- this does not qualify as a charitable donation, but it will count as a business expense for CE Instructors.

 

I will post a financial statement as part of each meeting minutes.
