Dear Board Member: MMSW stewards were advised on January 29 that despite the delay in the program launch in Saskatchewan, it was necessary for MMSW to recover start up expenses and operational costs which were financed by the CSSA members' bank loan. Payments on the loan become due in Q1. Accordingly, invoices were sent to stewards with the following communication http://conta.cc/1HlZ3dr Trade associations have asked for further clarification on the uses of the funds invoiced. Click here to read the communication that will be going out to MMSW stewards and associations tomorrow.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks, Gemma Zecchini Canadian Stewardship Services Alliance (CSSA) | 1 St. Clair Avenue West, Suite 700, Toronto, ON M4V 1K6 C: 647-638-3080| [email protected] | www.cssalliance.ca
