Does Ferret have a Disney Meerkat pin? I can find them on ebay, but
nowhere else.

As a Certified Public Accountant, I would like to review the credentials of
this so-called "audit committee." I would also like to see a full set of
audited financial statements, a copy of the annual tax filing, and proof
that expenditures are being made for program services and not being
funnelled to professional fundraisers. And while you're at it, please
forward proof of compliance with all federal, state, and county regulatory
requirements, health inspection report showing grade A or higher,
certificate of occupancy, survey showing number of feet from the nearest
school, and elevator safety certificates.
