October 7, 2014

I.Call to order @ 7:05pm

II.A motion to approve the minutesfrom the September meeting was made bySuelynBoucree. 2nd was made by Eddie Mroczka. Motion carried.

III. Statement of Treasurer – Paul Goddard –

Event/Money procedures – There will be a new procedure for turning in/depositing money at the end of an event due to a small amount of money coming up missing after the book fair. For every event, at the end of the shift/day the 2 people checking the money will count it and put it in the envelope, fill out and sign the Event Tally sheet and then seal the envelope andsign off on the seal. It is then the responsibility of the event chair to get the money to the treasurer for him or her to deposit. If this is not possible, the event chair should take it home for safe keeping until it can be given to the treasurer to deposit. If neither the event chair or the treasurer is available at the end of an event, arrangements for another board member to take the money home must be made. Money is no longer to be left at the school overnight. If the money carries over until the next day or another shift after a break (as in pre-sale tickets), 2 people should open the envelope and count the money together to confirm correct amount.
