HELP! Community Development Corporation (CDC) procedures?

**"Alliums" g*@green-logic.com**

Hi, Folks!

I know many of you have your community gardens through a CDC.  Phoenixville
set one up last year which is going through growing pains (our community
garden is not a part of it).

Right now, there are no written procedures for how committees are in
relationship with the CDC and most importantly, no written procedures about
how accounts are handled.  Because of this, folks are being asked to take
other folks' word on how things should be run "because it's a CDC and that's
different from every other non-profit you've ever heard of" which is making
both the local non-profit folks and the local business owners a bit nervous.

So, if you're with a CDC and you have a set of written procedures on how
your group works with the CDC (especially if you have accounting/banking
procedures), would you please e-mail me directly
<garlicgrower@green-logic.com> and send me copies of your CDC's procedures?

Thank you so much for your help in this matter -- it will be a great relief
here in Phoenixville (PA) to have some paper in hand. . .
