POINTS TO NOTE -No payments can be made out to persons unless an Invoice or Receipt is submitted -Club Funds are NOT to be used for anything personal -If Cash is being collected, receipts must be issued to persons -The event is not complete until all reconciliations are done -Persons responsible for Ticket Sales must make commitment to pay by deadline -Limit the persons that handle funding for the event -If persons pay for items from their personal account, reimbursements must be made through the Club Account after a receipt is submitted
