[fvc-wat-disc] Maps, payment and ordering

Sun Apr 29 11:30:52 EDT 2007

That's Great.
Now I suppose I'll go ahead, order and pay for the maps and collect from 
Angela, Graham and Brian at the next meeting or how should I go about it?  
Should we just make the $15.00 plus tax donation to our 'war chest' and pay 
for the maps from there?  Elections Canada does require prepayment in the 
form of cheque or credit card.  I'm new at this, so I really don't know the 
best or proper procedure at this stage.  Help!
Peace
Rick
