If it went into the 'Other' account, it would depend on the source of the original funds, right? If it was a check from the scout or his parents that was consolidated in the 'Other' account and then paid to the Council, that's another situation. If it was the result of fund raising, that's a much di...

Another good reason to encourage members to use online donations...

So it IS possible to print the completed documentation? If someone has used Jotform or something similar, could you confirm that? And it sounds like you can go online and see the form along with the approvals? Does anyone know if the online 'history' shows who gave approvals?

Is it appropriate to collect funds through either online donations or donations to one's own ward or ...

MLS allows you to print a report showing members who do not have callings. (Organizations >> Reports/Tools >> Members without Callings) Whilst looking at the printout this morning, I noticed that a man who is not a member of the Church (but who has a record number -- presumably one of those 'adminis...
