		<description>Karen, It could go either way.  You mention &quot;dues&quot; so I wonder what type of organization you are working with?  Most organizations have a budget and include items like awards and recognition in the budget.  If your group does not have that included in the budget, or don&#039;t have money in the general fund then you could take a collection to purchase the gifts.</description>

		<description>Hi, we are going to honor our president at an upcoming member meeting. If we give a gift, may it be paid out of our general funds (from member dues) or must the gift come directly from the members (separate from their dues)?</description>

		<description>Hi Lori, that&#039;s great that you are intentional about showing your appreciation. Cards signed from the whole staff is a great idea.  It&#039;s the personal touch that can really make a difference.</description>
