As many noticed yesterday, Box had service outages for a few hours, preventing everyone from accessing the Marijuana Policy from the SBA. Box is now back up and running smoothly, and the link below should now work. Apologies for the inconvenience.

ABC Radio in Baltimore recently did a special report on the impact that SCORE has in the small business community. Both Thomas Shipley (Baltimore) and Hal Shelton (DC) were also featured for the great work they are doing in their respective communities. You can listen to the story
here.
As always, we want to thank all of our volunteers for all that they do. It is truly making a difference!
Accounting Reminder - Detailed Receipts
Please remember to submit detailed receipts for any meals on any expense reports. This is a new policy. If the detailed receipt is not available, the volunteer will still be reimbursed but as an unallowable cost from unrestricted chapter local funds.
