HOW DISBURSEMENT WORKS

The camp host will not be responsible for keeping any monies on hand. That will fall on the financial officer. The camp host simply needs to send a request to the financial officer telling him what they need and what they are purchasing. What this does is puts a “check and balance” in place. You don’t have one person making decisions and then worrying whether others will be upset with their purchase.

By selecting a camp host (spring) 365 days in advance, it gives them the opportunity to spread out the load. They can take advantage of sales that go on in order to purchase prizes. They can put different ideas in to action without the feeling of being rushed.

The financial officer does NOT make all the decisions. He simply is in charge of keeping the books. The system that we currently have in place is to get “authorization” from at least two other contributing members. I don’t think it would be effective or prudent to make posts about such things so this will be done in the form of a Private Message or through Telephone conversation. The authorizing parties will be annotated in the log book. These are for purchases needed to host an event. Again, the financial officer does NOT make the decisions. He simply keeps the books and disburses the monies.
