Last year, our team used a time-clock and it was not used much. Nor did we find a good use for the data. The rationale was: Wanna complain about why something looks like it does? Or wanna complain why something was built or designed that way? Let's go look at your time card... Oh you have only showed up 5 times... Tough Luck. -- The result: The dedicated came and others stayed home.
This year, I have designed an Access database that tracks data on every team member: name, address, e-mail, parents, school advisor, parking spot # etc. I also added in a table for fundraising and attendance during the summer and the fall.
At the beginning of the year, each member must sign and have their parents sign an agreement that states they will abide by the team bylaws which include a fundraising clause.
New Members must raise $50. Returning Members $100. Team Student Leadership must raise $150. These are all minimums. We do not care how people bring in the money, whether it is talking with family, friends, etc. working on a team fundraiser where the total team hours is divided by the income, or the money might come from another source.
The fundraisng division works with local comapnies and granting organizations to come up with most of the money.
