We have an immediate need for a treasurer. Ideally, we need someone to commit to completing this year and continue on through next year. Continuity is important in this position. The present records are well organized, so there is no backlog of work to be done.

Our records are primarily maintained in Quicken, so familiarity with Quicken would be helpful. The treasurer cannot be an APS employee. The position requires about 10 - 15 hours a week of time during busy periods. Slow weeks require much less time.

Please consider this an opportunity for parents of junior classmen to get involved in the board and make a difference to the Royal Guard bands for years to come.

For more information, please contact either president - Elaine Gonzales @ elaine.gonzales@comcast.net or Sue Woodling @ dswoodling@msn.com , or Mr. Dubbs @ mrdubbsmhs@yahoo.com
