The Treasurer's Black Book

The treasure will record minutes and attendance in the black entry book that belongs to AfriCaso. We intend that this book in later years will serve as a record of history, and a source of information about how to handle issues that previous executive bodies might already have dealt with.

The Black Book also includes pictures of past events and members.

It is the responsibility of the outgoing treasurer to return the book to the succeeding executive body. If the book is no longer in AfriCaso's posession, contact a previous executive to locate it.

 

About obtaining funding (procedures and past contacts)

Plan to obtain funding as early as possible. Begin making arrangements at the beginning of the term, for smaller events, and as early as during the previous term for larger ones. As much as possible try to avoid using AfriCaso's funds for ordinary programming. They are meant for emergencies.

Obtain external funds from one of these sources. They have served AfriCaso well in the past:
COSO
Dickey
Office of Black Student Advising
Department of African and Afro-American studies

Consider collaborating on events that are not considered AfriCaso's trademark events (see next section). In the past, AfriCaso has successfully collaborated with:
The Afro-American Society
Armana House
Casque and Gauntlet
International Student Association

AfriCaso also obtains a basic amount from COSO each time by attending the compulsory COSO meeting, and an annual recruitment grant from COSO.

 

 

Singature Events

AfriCaso strives to reproduce a number of events each year as the organization's trademark events. Here is the current list of AfriCaso signature events:
