Aye mates! Unfortunately, I must inform you that this club position does notinclude pirates and the quest for the missing “treasure”. (Corny…sorry y’all: P) All jokes aside, the treasurer very important because he/she is in charge of handling all financial affairs. During the summer, you will attend a meeting with the rest of the club officers, and you will plan a budget. Don’t worry about this, I will provide to the treasurer-

elect a flash drive with files such as this. All you will have to do is edit the numbers and information according to the needs for the next year.Once the year begins, you will have the job of taking dues and writing receipts for them. You will also need to enter in each member’s name and contact information into the international website. Don’t worry, it’s actually fun and if you need any help during that time, I’ll be available for you! After finishing dues, t-shirt

sells will begin and you will just collect money from that.In between collection time periods, you will be in charge of making sure the club raisesenough money to do all things it wants to such as attend DCON. Your budget will help you figure this out. It is likely that you will lead the rest of the officers in planning fundraising events. These can include restaurant nights, or other things like the Black History Showcase!
