Treat it just exactly like that Dues check that you got from the BHS in December.. you'll still have THAT $$ in January, won't you? And the $$ from November...
Hi everyone, I'd like to make a few comments on this subject. A recent question was asked about how to handle members' payments for a dinner being held in...
You are correct. It’s a social activity, and it has to be paid out of the Social Activities fund. And you’re right – it’s exactly what the dues are ...
Brooks, I see your problem. Bryn Mawr is a large chapter also, but we minimize our costs by asking attendees to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert, sort of...

We've done pot luck the last few years and it always works out great . . . better food than if we catered it, and much less work for me! . . . of course, the...
Hi Larry (and fellow CSD Treasurer), I have to carry income and expenses over from year to year all the time - mostly because of our Christmas show. It messes...

I would set this up in a 360 a,b,or c account separate from the regular 360 account and with BOD approval, expend it out of the corresponding 460 account....

I agree with Joe in principle, but I think such use of 360 money should be limited to special gifts and honorariums, and not wholesale dues underwriting. Also...
Several years ago we also had a special fund set up for members who at one time or another were strapped for funds to pay for activities. This fund did not go...
I continue to be impressed by the quality of the advice given in this group. Well done all! Johnny W. Jackson (LTC USAR Ret) Chattanooga Choo Choo Chorus...
Has anybody had any experience with establishing foundations, trust, etc.? I need to talk to somebody who's done it. On or Off List, either way. --Brooks...
We use an "angel" fund that is entirely separate from our chapter funds. One of our more affluent members donated the seed money and other members have...

We have received a large sum of money as a result of one of our members' wives passing away. I do not want to open another bank account just for this but am...
Hi everyone, Someone has expressed serious doubts about the following statement appearing on a barbershop chapter's website: "Fees paid for Singing Valentines...
It seems to me that they are paying a charge for services, not making a gift. Unless the music is "worthless", (a virtual impossibility from a BHS Chapter),...
I agree, they are getting a service not making a donation. I don't feel that the fee paid for singing valentines is tax deductible. Ken Gingrich Lansdale, PA...

I keep track of sub-funds here with the same kind of money. It's easy in quicken to setup sub-accounts to keep the money separate, but still part of the 100 or...

Holly, The services provided include anything your 501(c)(3) organization does for anyone not a member of the 501(c)(3) organization. I presume you do ...
I would be interested in finding out how other *Canadian* chapters are handling the funds received for Harmonize for Speech. Do they go thru chapter books or...
