Message from our Treasurer, Penny Lamnek

​

  • E-transfer is our preferred method of payment.  Ensure your name is in the message box

  • EAC is set up for auto deposit so you do not need a password.

  • If you prefer to use one “What is the colour of the building’ was previously suggested, in which case the answer would be “orange”.

  • If your e-transfer has a donation in it, please indicate this in the message box as well, eg $75.00 fee, $25.00 donation.  

  • Some of you prefer to give cash and that is fine. Attaching your name to the cash is most helpful. I will also have a notebook available. Make sure I get your name down for cash or there will be lots of tears. 

  • Cheques are accepted, payable to the Edmonton Art Club

  • Receipts will be issued later in the year.

  • EAC email for e-transfers: edmartclub.treasurer@gmail.com

  • Most of you are using the e-transfer method to pay for workshops, hanging fees etc and that’s great.  When you do this, please put your name and what it is for in the message box.

  • Most of the time this is not a problem but names do not always come across or it's a company name etc.

  • Sometimes a person will pay for two or more people and I don’t know who they are.  Please ensure names and what the payment is for will save my poor head from a lot of scratching.

 

Thanks so much!
Penny Lamnek, TreasurerOur preferred method of payment is e-transfer.   

 

Please clearly indicate in your payment description area, 1.  your name; and 2.  what the e-transfer is for (i.e. membership fees).
