  • Local group guidelines for membership database by Keith Murphy (5/18/04)

  • HQ/Local reimbursement idea – by Keith Murphy (3/24/04)

    Expenditures are a great deal more complicated. These fall into two broad categories: things for which FSP HQ should pay for 100%, and things for which FSP HQ should pay 50%.

    1. 100% -- basic outreach
       • Table fees at events (within a $200 limit)
       • Printing (most members just eat this themselves, but set a reasonable per month limit)
       • Any speaker's expenses (within a set limit, i.e. hotel, mileage. Again, most members don't ask for reimbursement)

    2. 50% -- advanced outreach
       • Preapproved locally placed ads ($250 limit)
       • Pre-approved activist efforts, i.e. local pen distribution ($250 limit per effort)
       • Registration fees at events (i.e. convention fees)
       • Banners (ordered through FSP HQ source)
       • Shirts for volunteers (50% of cost, ordered from FSP HQ)
       • Preprinted outreach material, inc. bumper stickers (50% of cost, ordered from FSP HQ)
