Invoices will be sent with a due date just prior to your project start date. Interest will accrue every 30 days as it has in the past.

If you are one of the many groups that takes an offering among your team for the orphanage or as a part of your fund raising work for your trip Tony Ralphs would prefer that you do not leave it at the orphanage.
