Example for Filling out your Treasurer s Record The 4-H Treasurer s record resembles a bank saving/checkbook register. Date Description/Transaction Expense + Income Balance 275 00 10/21 Club T-Shirts 104 95-104 95 The T-Shirt Company 170 05 10/25 Pie Sale /Fundraiser 75 50 +75 50 Cash brought to UVM Office 245 55 10/30 Art and Craft supplies 54 42-54 42 (name of club leader) 191 13 We begin with a balance of $275.00 dollars in the upper far right column. 1. Expense Example: Club X buys t-shirts with its debit card. The expense is 104.95. 2. Since T-Shirts are a club expense we record the amount of $104.95 in two places: Under the expense column and in the balance column. 3. In the description column write Club T-shirts and the name of the company. 4. In the date column, fill in the date of purchase. 5. In the balance column, notice the shaded area: this area is used to update your new balance. Subtract 104.95 from 275.00. Your new balance is now $170.05 6. Deposit Example: Your club earned $75.50 dollars selling pies outside of a well- known store in your community. A fundraiser is income. Place the deposit amount in two places: under the income column and in the balance column. a. This income is added to your overall balance. $170.05 + $75.50. Your new balance is $245.05. b. In the description area writes: fundraising event/pie sale. c. Write cash deposit. d. NOTE: A leader could also deposit club funds into his/her personal account and write a personal check to UVM and mail the deposit. This would save a trip to a UVM Office for a cash deposit.
