Annual Reports and Governing Documents

The annual reports provide researchers a convenient entry into the relief sale records.  They consist primarily of financial reports and document the amount of money raised for Mennonite Central Committee.  However, researchers can also learn about the activities at each sale, the publicizing of the sales, and the kinds of items and food sold at the sales.  The by-laws and non-profit corporation paperwork of the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale may also be found in this series.
