Drudge of a day

billeylerSpent nearly the entire day cleaning up the Albuquerque Square Dance Center books for the annual general meeting tomorrow. I let some of the unresolved issues sit WAY too long. Sadly, a lot of it was cleaning up the prior treasurer's booking quaffs, since she doesn't know squat about accounting. I thought I had cleaned up a lot of it back in February, but it all reared its ugly head again.
From an earlier post to the Board:
[snip]
single year members** 148
active life members* 94
total ASDC active membership 242
new members 2005 18
lapsed members 2005*** 45
[endsnip]
Pretty low membership, actually. Sad. Net loss of 27 dancers.
I'm now thinking it SUCKS that the Treasurer is also the Membership person, too. Cross checking and maintaining two databases (Quickbooks and/or Excel/Access) makes it just that more timeconsuming.
I'm sure I've put way over 100 hours into ASDC this past year in bookkeeping. Probably more. What is it that makes me want to volunteer for all this? :( I'm the one that thought the Wilde Bunch membership was slipping badly because we're dancing in a 100% str8 environment. Now I'm a BOARD member of that same organization.
Ah, well. It's all for the good. Since both Kris and I are on the board, we're 2 of 7 that keep the Wilde Bunch in good graces.
