While things like registration or travel reservations (on a more open timeline) are done with PO's or by sponsors granting directly to our FIRST account, almost everything we need right this second is done on personal credit cards and reimbursed later (which the school is painfully slow at).

I definitely don't recommend it, but it's what we do to make it work. It's absolutely agonizing for a group of mentors with lives, families, college bills, etc - to look at the purchase we want to make and decide whose credit card is going to take the hit... thankfully we get in back in the end. The waiting period just isn't super fun.

Silver lining positivity: It makes us think hard about what we need & how badly we need it!
