I am Chris Clement - KA4UPC extra, tinkerer since childhood, licensed ham since 80s, and life member of CARS since 90s. Although I passed all the tests, I have much to learn from all of you. I was asked to be treasurer and much honored to accept. I hope to keep the accounting as simple as possible, partly by ignoring trivial amounts of interest, shuffling money between accounts, and paypal fees (~5%). At meetings and at the appropriate times, I would like to present my report, followed by renewals, 50/50 etc. This should run like a net with name and call. Please be prepared with correct change, accept 50/50s as change, or come last. revised, per Jeff's request before pledge 6 - 50/50 ticket sales $1 each, no exceptions, no change. after treasurer trivia question and answer 8 - Subtract first ticket # from last left on roll, divide by 2. 9 - Random draw one ticket. 10 - Award amount from line 8 or accept as donation. after meeting adjourns 1 - New hams joining tested at CARS with info. 2 - New hams joining CARS with current year dues, info. 3 - Renewals with lapsed membership. 4 - Renewals from past year. 5 - Item sales, donations accepted. 7 - Last transactions needing change, if available.
