From the Treasurer’s Desk... 2023 Contribution Statements are in a basket (in alphabetical order by last name) in the Narthex for pick up. If you prefer to have yours mailed or emailed, please reach out to our Treasurer, Jordan Morris at treasurer@cicpres.com or (336) 324-8734. Updated expense/reimbursement vouchers can be found in the “old kitchen” by the mailboxes. In an effort to streamline the reimbursement process, we are asking the form to be completed in its entirety, including prior approval for the purchase. Once completed, please leave in the Office Coordinator’s mailbox so that the appropriate community representative can sign. It is our hope that this updated process will help to speed up the time in which reimbursements are issued! Thank you for your support and understanding! As always, please reach out to Jordan with any questions or concerns. |
