Procedures for Disbursing Funds for Rebuilding Bridge at Clubs/Units in the Mid-South Bridge Conference (District 10) Adversely Affected by Hurricanes in 2005

 

 Amended and Approved by District 10 Board of Delegates, September 16, 2006

 

1.             A checking account will be established by the treasurer of the District to collect and disburse donations for rebuilding bridge in clubs/units in the District adversely affected by hurricanes in 2005.

 

2.             Clubs/units may request funds to allow them to resume conducting bridge games.  Items to be funded include but are not limited to the following:  clean-up costs, rental space, insurance deductibles, equipment, tables, chairs, supplies (boards, cards, bidding boxes, inserts, guide cards, etc.), building replacement (not covered by insurance), and assistance to teachers in reestablishing classes.  The voting delegate in the Unit will vouch for the need for the funds.  These funds are for rebuilding bridge; they are not for individual victims.

 

3.             Requests for funds should be made to Chuck Wilkinson, Chairman of the District 10 Rebuilding Fund, 1806-B Saint Ann Street, Jackson, MS, 39202-1257.  All requests will be reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee and disbursed by the treasurer.

 

4.             Requests must include an estimate of the costs.  Three-fourths of this estimate will be sent to the requestor.  Once a final itemized bill of the items purchased is sent to the treasurer, the remainder of the amount requested will be paid.

 

5.             Clubs/units with insured property will submit copies of their insurance policies to the Chairman of the District 10 Rebuilding Fund.  These clubs/units may request interest-free loans to begin rebuilding or making extensive renovations.  These loans will be reimbursed once insurance settlements are made.

 

6.             If there is any money remaining in the Rebuilding Fund at the end of three years (12/31/2008), it will be returned to the donors on a pro rata basis.
