Re: 5013c Help

We've been doing this for 13 years and I still float everything other than registration on my personal credit card, even $7,000 airfare or hotel bills. Having someone quick with a credit card and a high limit has become a necessity for FRC, and it's the simplest way to do things. I get reimbursed through the school ASB account usually within 10 days time. Logging and copying the receipts ias a pain, but we have the process down. In a typical season, I'll make on the order of 120+ different purchases.

We'd like to do a 501c3 to qualify for more grants, but we haven't got it done yet. I would be interested in hearing more from others who have.
