The December, 2011, minutes were reviewed and approved. Sally noted the balances in checking account and savings account for PROSAMI. The Bank of America has not supported PROSAMI , in terms of waiving the $15 / month checking account fee.

Discussion of Congo (DRC)
There continues to be violence and wanton destruction and pillage of property by foreign soldiers hired by the new president. The current president did not step down, so Country has two presidents. Human rights violations have occurred.
Computers are safe in the Congo in a protected d location. Many thanks to Agnes’ sister for saving our computers from theft and /or destruction.
