As a non-profit, donation based business, it is important for the Council to show fiduciary responsibility. We are obligated to use funds wisely and in the best interest of all our members, particularly our youth. It is not financially responsible to return event funds to a non-participant at a late date, because we will have spent funds on that participant. Program materials, patches, and t–shirts, for example, are ordered well in advance, and can’t be returned.
