Richard Johnson 210mm x 148mm 88pp hardback The Treasurer deals with the organisation of the lodge regarding all monetary matters, collecting the subscriptions and other payments from members in order that the lodge can function efficiently and remain solvent. The book offers introductory guidance on accounting issues and also includes some useful examples of lodge accounts and balance sheets. The Charity Steward also collects money from members, but in the form of alms and payments for charitable purposes. In this respect, this Office is mainly concerned with income only. The Almoner communicates with all lodge members and their families to ensure they are not suffering hardship, and if so, to help minimise the severity of difficult circumstances, and so this role is mainly concerned with the expenditure of money. These three Officers are vital to the smooth running of a lodge, and this handbook will be essential reading for all those who are charged with these duties.
