We need answers. The membership has a right to know the financial state of the club.

The lack of info is getting ridiculous. Been a member for years and never seen a proper audit.

Has any other than board members been apprised of yearly finances of club? Do Friars by-laws have an inclusion clause for members to be informed ?
