jelknerwe need to get the jetro office set up12:10
svayejelkner: we don't have the other bank statements so I only did the transaction for the one you sent, if you can send the others I can work on it12:10

thomasboimahOkay12:17
thomasboimahI will be here12:17
jelknersince if i have trouble accessing the gnucash for SECOSOL12:17
jelknerwe may need your help12:17
svaye_jelkner, you didn't mention the question you need to answer in the mail12:18
jelknersvaye_, i don't understand12:18
jelkneroh yes12:18
jelkneri think i did12:18
jelknerlet me look12:18
jelknerhttps://share.mayfirst.org/s/eofEK82eTrgJcQJ12:20
jelknerlook there, svaye_ 12:20
svaye_jelkner, is " Grant funds expended to date" the question12:20
jelknerdcammue, this will be a great opportunity for you to begin learning about the organizations you will hopefully help manage12:20
jelkneryup!12:20
jelknernice work svaye_!12:20
jelknerto be honest, we have not been keeping our books12:21
dcammue"How much of the first disbursement has been spent so for" this the question right? 12:21
jelkneryes, dcammue, svaye_ just typed the exact field that needs to be filled in12:21
jelknerthis is complicated12:21
jelkneri'm not sure how to answer12:21
svaye_jelkner, we need the statement from when the grant was given to present.12:21
jelknerlet me give you a little more context12:21
jelknerwell, svaye_, we may need to think about this a bit differently12:22
jelknerlet me explain12:22
svaye_we also need to know what the money was spent on from you personally, because will not be on the bank statement12:22
jelknerour biggest expense was the trip we made to North Carolina to visit Industrial Commons and Poder Emma12:22
jelknerthat happened in July12:22
jelknerwhile the first CCHD check came in August12:23
jelkneryou will see that our balance was near 0 in July12:23
jelknerso you're truly made an emergency donation so we could go on the trip12:23
jelknerknowing that the CCHD funds would be coming soon12:23
jelknerbut we want to count that trip as being funded by CCHD12:23
jelknermake sense?12:24
dcammueYes12:24
svaye_That means the grant did not cover the trip am I right?12:24
jelknerwell, it depends what you mean by "cover"?12:24
jelkneri say yes it did12:24
svaye_Okay jelkner I understand now12:24
dcammueNo, they used extra funds since the grant was not available 12:25
jelkneryes, but we knew it was coming12:25
jelknerso we counted on it12:25
jelknerwe could not have done that trip without CCHD12:25
jelknerso i want to attribute the cost of the trip to the grant we got from them12:25
jelknerthis is a great opportunity for you two to get to know this organization12:26
jelknerif you are going to do the books for SECOSOL12:26
svaye_jelkner, let me get this straight, we are going to take the expenditure for the trip from the CCHD grant right?12:26
jelkneryou need to understand what it is, who the people are who work with it, and what they are doing12:26
jelkneryou can't make sense of a bank statement without knowing the stories behind each transaction12:27
jelknerdoes that make sense?12:27
jelknersvaye_?12:27
jelknerdcammue?12:27
jelknerdo you understand what i'm saying?12:27
jelkneri don't have time to wait for a response12:28
svaye_Yes jelkner 12:28
jelknergreat12:28
fkoikoi\me dcammue12:28
jelknerthis is very important!12:28
jelknersince success of failure for you keeping SECOSOL books will depend on it12:29
jelknerif you don't understand the organization well, you won't be able to keep its books12:29
svaye_+112:29
jelknerok, i need to run to the food store12:29
jelknersince i need to use my wife's car (i don't have a car), and she needs it back in an hour12:29
jelknerwhen i get back, i'll upload all the SECOSOL bank statements for the past 2 years12:30
jelknerso you two can take a look at the organization12:30
jelknerwe have our next board meeting on Feb 112:30
jelknerwe may be making some big decisions12:30
jelknerincluding possibly looking to hire a full time staff person12:30
jelknerthat will mean payroll again12:31
jelkneri messed up payroll before pretty badly12:31
jelknerand i don't want to be responsible for that again12:31
svaye_I sure we can help you with that jelkner 12:31
jelkneri want to hire someone with skills who could do that12:31
jelknerany ideas who we might hire? ;-)12:31
svaye_You can hire jetroweb12:32
