Food Co-op Treasurer

The Food Treasurer is the gestapo of the food co-op. She makes sure that everybody is all paid up and cracks down on the Fascists when they're spending too much dough.

Brenda Grell, Finlandia 2005:

collecting $$ from everybody (setting up payment plans and harrassing folks for $$ through out the semester). payment to BACH of fees from food co-opers per semester ($35 per co-oper).

Setting and managing the weekly budget of groceries, milk delivery, new york times bill, and cox communications bill.

Reimbursing co-opers for what they have purchases for the house (good to make sure that they run this by the food treasurer first to prevent supurfious expenditures).

Doling out checks for bi-weekly shopping trips to Ralph Calisto, Eastside Marketplace, Asian Markets, and Mexican Markets (dont ask me where they are located).

Rapidly paying all bills for Cox, Munroe Dairy, and New York Times in order to prevent late charges or angry milk deliveries.

Organizing checking account for W.B. Foods, all bills from Munroe Dairy, Citizen's Bank, Cox Comm, and New York Times.

Budgeting to allow for summer Cox and New York Times bills (~300 to be safe)

Getting more parties which =more $$ for food co-op!! clear communication with the food facists in order to prevent over spending and unreasonable purchases.

At the beginning of this job it definitely took me two hours, but I spread the work out over the week so it usually takes me about an hour and a half. I usually do other things like guage the weekly dairy needs, refrigerate the dairy delivery, etc just to make sure I am on top of everybody's food needs.
