Seeking Volunteer Treasurer for the DHS PTSO
The Dunwoody High School PTSO is looking for a parent volunteer to serve on the Executive Board as "Treasurer Shadow" for next school year. This is a 2-year commitment. The second year, you'll serve as the "Treasurer Lead." Together, the Treasurers set the budget (with the help of the Executive Board), monitor the budget, keep track of payments and deposits in QuickBooks, pay expenses, and deposit checks. Knowledge of QuickBooks and an accounting background are very helpful. This is a fun and rewarding way to get involved at DHS with a time commitment of about 3 hours a week. Please email dunwoodyhsnews@gmail.com if you're interested or need more information
