Common Mistakes When Transitioning to the New Treasurer

Transitioning to the new treasurer is an easy process with Treasurer's Briefcase.  Essentially all you need to do is add a new user to the system, assign them administrative rights and possibly revoke the privileges of the old treasurer.   Here are some things to keep in mind.

How do I record non-cash donations?

Dear Trudy,

We have a parent who is donating a 2 night stay at a hotel with breakfast to our program. We are going to put that and a few things (lotion, candles, etc,) into a basket and sell raffle tickets for a fundraiser. The stuff we buy, I know what to do with, but how do I record the donation? Do I have to?  Just want to be sure that I do this correctly. 

Thanks Trudy!
