Chairperson's Opening Remarks: Provided by Matt.

Financial Report: Provided by Eric. In regards to Cecil’s question a couple

meetings back, Eric learned that the interest on our various accounts is as
follows: (1) savings-0.25% (2) activity-0% (3) IG-.03% (4) Book Bank-.03%. Don
had a question regarding how our IG schedules were accounted for (when a sale
is made of $0.10/schedule). Does the money go back to the Book Bank fund, and
if so, why doesn’t the Book Bank pay for the production of the schedules? Eric
will check. Liz asked why the numbers reported on August Q1 and Q2 were
different from this months numbers? Eric will check. Misty asked why the admin
expenses were abnormally high for this month. Eric explained that this is when
the expense hit to purchase new file cabinets (old ones damaged as a result of
the burglary some time back). It was found that the numbers in the group
donation columns do not add up correctly—formula may be wrong. Eric will
check. Report tabled to allow time for Eric to address these items.

requested that Al make note of the group’s new location at Liholiho Elementary
