Hello everyone

See the discussion below regarding our grant for the Gauteng meeting. Just to keep you updated, for now I arranged to get it paid to my bank account. I opened a separate account for it, because that way it will be easier to follow what is happening and to report back at the end. As soon as the chapter's bank account is up and running I will transfer the funds.

Kind regards Lourie

Certainly! No pain at all.  Please don't hesitate to ping us in the future if you suspect something is delayed or was forgotten (it could happen).

See you soon!

Hi, Lourie.

Absolutely, the grant has been processed, and the wire is on its way to you.  I'd suggest checking with your bank around Tuesday or Wednesday (or just after Wikimania, if no one would be available before then).

Cheers,

Asaf

Hello Asaf

...

I just want to make sure; now that Winifred is out of office, is there someone who is processing our grant? Our meeting is planned for the weekend after Wikimania and I am just afraid that we might not have the grant by then. Thanks.

Lourie

Yes, I was a bit confused, because I followed all the steps! Find attached the signed copy of the document. I changed the original dates proposed (http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants%3AWM_ZA%2FGauteng_meeting...) on Meta, due to the time required to process the grant, and also that these new dates were the only ones we could get with the government departments we would like to meet. I hope this isn't a problem. Just let me know if there is something else to-do.

Kind regards Lourie
