There was a story today inside the front section of the QC Times about a treasurer of a local car club who was arrested for taking club money for personal use. She hasn't been proven quilty but enough evidence existed for an arrest. The story is
here. I hope this doesn't hurt the club with future functions. While I am not a member of this club, I was an officer of another. Any officer, president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, historian, or executive board member, has a responsibility to the members to be above this kind of activity. If she really did write club checks to herself she should be prosecuted. Although nowhere in the story is a dollar amount mentioned, I would guess it's not chump change. All officers in clubs are volunteers with a thankless job. The money can be recouped with some extra effort, although this late in the year another show is out. To the members of this club, hang in there and we wish you the best.

Nitrous you nailed it. In all the clubs I've been in the same few people seem to cycle through. When finding voluteers is so hard I don't know if two people would work for treasurer.
Maybe that is what it's coming to, but I hope not. In our club with elections every year it could turn into a nightmare. Your ideas are very sound and I'll probably have to quit living in the 60's and bring your idea up at the next meeting.
