Good morning!
So, I think I need a little more information here. The budget was set for purchasing spiritwear that you then sell to the community, correct? If additional orders come in and you have received payments for those orders, would it make sense to use those payments to purchase the additional spiritwear? I may be missing something in your process.
At the beginning of the year, we set a budget for spiritwear. It is my understanding that no matter how much we've made from it so far, we cannot increase the budget without approving it. Some members are saying that they have accepted checks to cover this latest order and want me to just pay it without getting it approved at a meeting. I did let the person in charge of spiritwear know that she was almost at her limit and should consider asking for an increase at the last meeting we had. That was not done so I've said that I can't pay the invoice until the next meeting in two weeks. Can anyone advise?
