It has come to my attention that I was rushing the vote by a month. Nominations should occur during the month of May and be finalized at the May meeting. The actual vote will be at the June meeting. The new officers take charge in July. Looks like you guys are stuck with me an extra month. 
Copied from the Club Constitution
Section 3 Elections shall take place in the month of June of the election year. The newly elected officers shall assume office on July 1st of that year. Nominations for officers shall take place in the month of May of the election year. At this meeting the President or Chairperson will ascertain from the Secretary an Treasurer that all those nominated are qualified to run for office in accordance with the by-laws of this organization.

Who me????
Just so everyone is on the same page. The following positions are not necessarily open for nominations. If someone (not Melissa) is in a position and wishes to let someone else do it for a while now would be a good time to find a replacement. So basically if Ryan or Steve & Kathy would like a break speak up. Thanks.
Webmaster-- Ryan Burchfiel (MrRyanT)
Meeting Organizer-- Steve & Kathy (zebrafish)
Frag Swap--Malissa Klug (glitzyone)

Thanks Jay, however like I said before, living up here it is hard to do much organzing, and with gas like it is getting it is getting a bit to get to Memphis. I really love the club but I just don't want to make a mess of something that is a easy deal for someone in Memphis.

I thank you for the vote of confidence for the nomination of treasurer but the only way i can accept the nomination is "IF" Cathy has that program set up so I can do a smooth transition into it ...I am no CPA and my lack of bank account balancing skills prove it over and over every month . My vote is to leave it with Cathy if the program is not fully set up.

Sorry all ... I was out of town all day yesterday and haven't been on the board much to see this discussion most of last week.
The software for the membership is set up very well. Software for the books not quite so much because of the need to split accounting between St. Jude and the club. There's not really a inexpensive software to do that well so I've just been doing it on Excel because I didn't want to set it up on software that nobody else would have. The membership software that I bought for the club is supposed to track expenses, but so far I haven't been using it to do that because of the St. Jude thing.
I have not done a great job as Treasurer just because I'm short of time. But it's the membership that takes the most time and really, the same person probably shouldn't keep track of both money and membership. To provide the most checks and balances, one person should keep track of the members and the other could track who was paid. It's really never good to have the same person keeping track of your main source of income (membership) and the financial records for it, too.
One way to split it is to transfer membership to the secretary. Otherwise, BJ, we could do it together. I can keep the books and do the financial reports for you if you'll take over the membership. We could either call it Treasurer and Membership Director or Treasurer and co-Treasurer or something like that.

All I know is someone besides me needs to do membership because there is potential to do it SO much better that how I've done.
The biggest thing I can see is that you can send emails right out of the software. So, for example, we could send meeting notices or announcements out by email so we would reach everyone, not just who gets on Reef Central. You can run a report of expired members and send them all an appeal to renew their membership. You can sort and print the membership list by whether they live in the Jackson, Memphis, Mississippi or Arkansas areas. You can keep track of committees and meeting attendance.
If someone had the time to do this right, we could really improve our operations. I had good intentions, but not the time.
