being used– We will provide personal assistance with account
lookup in the short term and refer people to the website
Behind the Scenes in the Business Office
All new vendors– Vendor information was not brought over with the
new system from CARS– We are working now to add the most significant,
recurring vendors– Most check requests and invoices will require us
to add the vendor in the system IRS regulations require that we must have Form W-9 on
file before we can make a payment
What you can do to help

numbers already filled in
