Secretaries, Treasurers And Managers
Should Execute Assessments Correctly


HOW COMMON MISTAKES CAN BE ELIMINATED
BY Martin Krasch, Supreme Treasurer
Pittsburgh Pa. Of course it will not be amiss for all
of members to read these few words but all would
read them Lodge Secretaries and Treasurers
we'll Nest Managers then the desired end would
achieved.
The annual meetings of Lodges are passed. and
many Lodges made changes their administrations with the
election of Secretaries Treasrers and Nest Managers
In keep the work between Supreme Treasurer
Department in the Supreme Office and Lodges running
smoothly find necessary to repeat what stated in
similar article last year.
do so with the object of informing our Lodge officers
the correct procedure for sending their
and making out checks therefor 1t must be said that there
who have held the office of Lodge Secretary
Treasurer for long time but who continue to make the
mistakes time after time resulting in considerable in
convenience here the Supreme Office and to the Lodge
officers themselves when it to return their
checks for correction. Here is how to avoid that:
l.. Every Lodge must fill in the printed form fur
nished by the Supreme Office with every assessment
zng the payment being made This in the of each
Nest of the Junior Order we'll Do not simply send in
check without the teized statement All checks received
will be returned with request for the temized statement
The Supreme Office staff could easily make out the missing
statement but that is illegal and strictly forbidden by nsur
ance Department regulations.
These statements must be signed by the Lodge Secretary
and Treasurer and in the of Junior Order Nest by
the Nest Manager and Treasurer There important and
justified for this which need not be gone into at
this time.
2-Al checks and money orders should be made pay
able to Croatan Fraternal Union including those checks
which forwarded to the Editors in payment for pictures
well checks payment for Junior Order assessments
Do not make checks payable to Junior Order" Martin
Krasch, Michael Grasha, the like.
g. - In the Junior Order Nest does not have it's
checking account payment for it's assessment may be
included in the Lodge check also payment of ens loans
lodge books but that fact must be clearly stated in the
itemized statement
4-Payment for printing work done by our Print Shop
such stationery admission tickets program books any
other printing should be made by separate check made
payable to Croatan Fratena Unon Printing Department.
This may be shortened to "CF.U. Printing Dept"
s. - When you receive check from the Supreme
Office regardless of the Department issuing the check and
you wish to send in that check payment account of
Lodge Nest assessment then such check must be
dorsed the side exactly it is made out the
face This happens most frequently with checks sent by the
Junior Order to the Nest Managers payment for the credit
due it's member upon transfer to the adult membership
These checks made to the order of the Nest and
not of the member entitled to the credit Therefore, such
check must be endorsed exactly it made out For in
stance if the check made payable to "Nest No. 81
lCFU then that check must be endorsed it's
sde in exactly that way followed by the signature of the
Nest Manager Lodge Secretary Lodge Treasurer not
properly endorsed the check will be returned
There is nothing in these instructions. They
not hard to follow and most of Lodge Officers and Nest
Managers observed them accurately but the few who do
not the of considerable confusion delay and in
think it is also apropos to repeat these in
uctons for the benefit of newly elected Lodge Officers
and Nest Managers
happy to report that all business dealings between
the Supreme Treasurers Department and Lodges and
Nests in the past years most satisfactorily accomp
shed with very few exceptions and these few exce
tons be removed and avoided all of which will result
saving of time and money the Society and the Lodges
extend to all our Lodge Officers and Nest Managers
good wishes for in their work. With their
operation, Croatian Fraternal Union will continue to
forge ever forward!
