Using Interac e-Transfer
When an Interac e-Transfer is made to Pay@24th.ca, the Treasurer receives this type of message.
This creates a challenge for our Treasurer who need to assign the money to the Section having the camp, Is it for the Beaver Colony or the Cub Pack, etc. … Then the message text along with the amount is saved in the payment log of the Section which received the money and a Scouter in that Section checks the log to follow up on payments.
The challenge is that out of the myriad of youth in the 24th Kitchener there are a number of Evans, none of who have a surname of Hasenpfeffer. A further confusion is that there are multiple Sections having Camps. If Harrynes is not a grandparent, we can go through a list of parents looking for a Harrynes Hasenpfeffer. On finding Harrynes, we know which Evan it is, and hopefully the camp is a camp for Evan’s Section and not Fall Camp which is a Group camp and therefore it is Group that should get the money not Evan’s Section.
Better text in the message is a real challenge reducer. The message needs to contain:
-
the youth’s full name
-
the youth’s Section (no need to include 24th Kitchener in the name)
-
a sufficiently unique name of the event
For example
For Evan Euchre of Adventurous Wolf Pack going to Cub Spring Camp (Apr 1) |
Please use complete messages.
{Yes, it’s an example; the names are all made up 🙂 }
