Wink Re: School problems

Here's an easy fix:

While on team 64 we had the same problem, took too long to get the money from our account. You can't have an outside account in your teams name. So we had our parent organization set up a checking account at a local credit union.

We would raise money through car washes and silent auctions and candy sales, etc. All of the checks would go into the school bank account and all of the cash went into the parent group's bank account. Now all you need is for your teacher to call one of the parents who's name is on the account and have them write a check. Simple as that.

There is also a process in which your parent group can become a non-profit group but it involves a lawyer and costs hundreds of dollars.
