Treasurer’s Report • In checking in with Wells Fargo on our paperwork, I found out that they can’t process our paperwork because we hadn’t registered our corporation/entity with the State of Ga (our state of incorporation) in the past several years. Therefore, our registration with the State has been administratively dissolved. While we are administratively dissolved, Wells Fargo cannot re-open the account Southeast Chapter Board Meeting Tuesday August 1, 2017 9:00 AM ET
