When the budget is approved, are the fund raisers included in the budget also approved or must they be voted on separately?
The proposed budget should be presented in writing after the proposed program has been adopted. You may present the budget as a whole, discussing the activities that you think will bring in income, and then discussing activities that will have expenditures. This would include all fund raisers. Give the membership the opportunity to ask questions regarding the budget, then vote on the budget as a whole. If a member has a question about a particular activity, you may pull that item from the budget until more information is obtained, and bring back an amended budget at the next association meeting.
