There was general agreement that if one group (C.R, vs Shinmachi) raised the monies, they should get it, or if it was a group activity, it would be divided accordingly. Aiso, if a group was going to to have a fund raising act�vity, the co�nmittee should know. Theze was general agreement that soliciting fram individual businesses should be done as repre- senting S.C. as a whole. We should also establish guidelines for fund raising.
