Fire Alarms, Finances and Furry Friends

Today was a busy day at Arrowhead! Kevin had a service technician in to inspect and make operational our fire alarm system. We actually have a fairly robust system installed, it however has not been overly functional historically. It is now in good order, up and running!

Liz and I spent a few hours tidying up a bit in the lodge... it was quite clear that we have a bit of a problem with a squirrel. We saw the wily varmint during our Christmas gathering with the Eastern Field in December, he was observing our meetings from the tree in the yard. Since then he has made himself quite at home in the lodge. So Liz and I went to the Home Hardware in Chipman and procured some items necessary for the ... ahem ... removal of the Squirrel. Hopefully we can come to a peaceful resolution, I however doubt very much that he will go quietly.

We met with another gentleman today with respect to the impending office for ANBC, but I will fill you in on that when I have more details to share! It's going to be very exciting though, I can tell you that!!

Kevin and Marcia went to finalize some banking details this afternoon. At the request of the executive, ANBC has begun to do business with the same banking institution as NCEM. This will have several benefits for us and should hopefully streamline some of our banking issues. Primarily, by having our account at the same branch as NCEM headquarters, it allows them to send money to us directly and immediately, keeping us from having to wait for Canada Post to deliver a cheque. Currently the branch closest to us is in Fredericton, but with the electronic funds transfers we should be able to manage with just one or two trips to the bank monthly for any deposits that we may need to make.
