When collecting money for an event, you should make frequent deposits, rather than holding onto large amounts of cash at a time. For example, if you expect $5000 in ticket sales to an event, you might make deposits every $1000 or so, or even every few hundred. It’s not always safe to be sitting around with thousands of dollars in cash in front of you when you are tabling. <br> | When collecting money for an event, you should make frequent deposits, rather than holding onto large amounts of cash at a time.

Cash that you hold onto is not secure or insured, but by depositing it you can be more assured of its safety. As warm and fuzzy the EUS community seems to be, you’re in the middle of a big city, and the EUS HAS been robbed in the past (nothing violent – someone broke into the VP Finance Office and made off with some cash a few years ago). If you keep money in a departmental lounge or a locker or something for temporary storage, you are putting your group and the EUS at risk.<br> | Cash that you hold onto is not secure or insured, but by depositing it you can be more assured of its safety.

And as a side note, if you decide not to make a deposit at the end of the day but are unsure where to store the money you have, you can keep your cash box stored in the EUS VP Finance Office where it will be relatively safe. | And as a side note, if you decide not to make a deposit at the end of the day but are unsure where to store the money you have, you can keep your cash box stored in the EUS VP Finance Office where it will be relatively safe. | ||

With the new card reader at the General Store, your group can know accept credit and debit card payments when you are tabling for your event. Email generalstore@mcgilleus.ca beforehand if you want to accept credit and debit card payments. However, we do not accept online payments. So do not ask for the EUS bank account information. <br> | |||
