I would like to know the answer to that as well and... I would like to
see a financial report on the financial history of the endowment
presented to the chorus that includes the following information:

The total current balance of the Endowment fund
Earnings available for use this current year
Earnings available for use in prior years
How those earnings were used
What the proposed use is for this year
Who decides?

I should probably know this as well, but time goes by and sometimes
recall gets garbled.

It is our fund and our money that we are encouraged to contribute each
year and we do have a right to know these answers
