Sounds good.

? Where is the check book and card? (don't need to tell me, I just assumed
that it was locked up at synhak and not at your personal house.

I'm thinking we can make it like the "Tool check out" form.
Where any member in good standing can take out the card for buying stuff.

We can have them fill out the form for:
1>who they are, Driver's licence number (like how stores do for checks)
2>When they plan to spend the money.
3>Where the money will be spent
4>Amount to be spent
5>When the card is to be returned

This would be filled out and then giving to the treasurer (Or someone) and
then the member can have the card to use.
For no more than 5 business days.
