There is then a 5 minute question and answer period for each. ♥ Each member in good standing, votes online or on paper ballots.* ♥ Ties will be decided by another vote. ♥ If a tie persists, the membership will vote (by paper or online ballot) to either:
randomly select one of the tied organizations by draw
divide the group donation equally between the tied organizations
♥The previous meeting’s successful recipient gives a 5-minute report on how the funds we donated were used.
