Such a letter always explains that actual contributions may be less for some and more for others, depending on personal circumstances.

 Other duties of the Finance Committee include maintaining orderly accounts and expenditure procedures, and advising the Monthly Meeting on financial aspects of its affairs. In Meetings without a Finance Committee, the Treasurer may carry these responsibilities..
