This month our Club has engaged the services of a new bookkeeper, Sandy Gruber. Sandy will be assisting the Club Treasurer, initially with the recording of weekly deposits for both our Club and Foundation and also creating and sending quarterly dues invoices, using our QuickBooks Online software installed earlier this year. Later she will be picking up additional duties, including the reconciliation of the monthly bank accounts. The Treasurer will continue to issue checks, prepare the monthly financial reports, and attend meetings of the Board of Directors.
Sandy has served as the administrative office for the Wisconsin Chapter of the Risk Management Association for several years, an organization in which Derek Moehring has been active for many years. She also serves other Midwest chapters of the RMA. Sandy lives in rural Spring Green. We’re hoping she will be able to attend one of our Club meetings in the not-too-distant future, so you will have an opportunity to meet her. Our initial estimate is that Sandy will spend about ten hours per quarter supporting our Club. Her billing rate is $20 per hour, so the estimated cost will be about $800 per year.
Last quarter over 25 of our members paid their quarterly dues electronically using ACH (Automated Clearing House). The process is quick and easy, and there is no cost to either the Member or the Club. To make the payment, click on the “Review and Pay” box that shows up on the first page of the invoice email you receive and follow the instructions. The first time you use it, you will need to enter your checking account information – Routing Number and Account Number. You can then save that information, and you will not need to re-enter it the next time.
If you have any questions, please email or call Club Treasurer John Olsen – johno.olsen@gmail.com or 608-220-2826.
