No, I’m not a registered adult member, I’m just a parent.

Thank you for all your help.

Well, the bylaws make it clear you could become a registered adult pretty easily, but then you wouls still have a long political job ahead of you to convince the other voting members to change your fundraising rules. Have you been involved with them for long?

You might want to look as section 3e and 3f[here](http://www.youngmarinesreg01.org/RAM/CHAPTER%207%20Funding%20&%20Reporting.htm), particularly

> [@](#):
>
> MAKE ALL INFORMATION INVOLVING FUNDRAISING, BUDGETING, EXPENDITURES, AND UNIT FUNDS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD

You should be able to ask to see any written rules your unit has about fundraising.
