We are creating a camp this year of about 20 individuals. Some virgins and some experienced burners. We plan on continuing with this group for many burns to come and becoming an established theme camp. However, this year our main focus is on creating a good base for the camp. We are primarily working on building communal shade structures, setting up a good kitchen, and creating a bar/DJ Booth. More of the "theme" elements and our larger art projects are going to have to wait till next year
We have agreed to collect and use camp dues for these communal projects as well as for renting a truck to haul all of the stuffz and thingz out to playa. As a group we have been great when it comes to agreeing about the $$ side of things and when the money needs to be in by (so we can get our projects off the spreadsheets and into motion!). However, no one wants to step forward to be the main treasurer to collect, hold, and distribute the camp dues as well as track expenses. I am willing to step forward to help my camp with this, but am really interested in hearing from anyone who has had experience with this. Camp dues are looking like $200-$250 per person. 20 members as of right now. If dues don't get turned in on time, those individuals will not be camping with us.Any experienced insight on the following questions would be incredibly helpful and GREATLY appreciated!
- What is the best way you have found to hold everyone's money and distribute to the appropriate projects as needed? Do you open a separate account or use a separate medium such as GooglePay or Paypal?
- What is your preferred method of tracking expenses? Do you use GoogleDrive or do you suggest using something like Evernote or another app to track expenses and hold receipts?
Much thanks!
