You are correct.

So, there are two things to do about this.

1) The much-delayed SFC accounting project is finally bearing some
fruit; within a couple months we should have 100% free software we can
use to track and approve reimbursement requests.  This will help a great
deal.

2) SPI is a big enough NPO that it really should have at least one paid
administrative staff member.  I believe that Drake previously proposed
something of the sort?
