Do… Collect donations for your Local Party Collect information from every person who gives you money – Use pre-printed remits if available – Or, use a clipboard sign-up list Deposit funds within 5 days Use (responsible) volunteers Collect donations for merchandise Keep contribution collections separate from caucus forms Build your Local Party membership!
