Jennifer Berg wrote that she cannot accept the report as a "Final Report" becasue there is still a balance of 580,153 MWK left to report on therefore this can not be a Final Report unless the funds are returned to the foundation. As stated before the funds may be spent on eligible items related to the original grant and then report on how those funds were spent in order to close out the grant. Please note that the next report on this grant will be due on 3-December-08 or within two weeks of project completion, whichever occurs first. In addition, any subsequent reports must be signed by RC Lilongwe's current club president.

Jennifer Berg wrote that the certifying signature on the report form confirming that grant funds were spent in accordance with Trustee guidelines was incorrect or incomplete. Need to submit a copy of report appropriately authorized by the current Club president of either the host or international partner. (President Bailey or President Warnke) Authorization should be an actual signature. However TRF does not require an original signature. Therefore the signature may be faxed or scanned and emailed.

Joe emailed correct signature to Jennifer Berg who acknowledged receipt and that the grant will now be considered closed.
