I was treasurer at a 100+ member club using Quick Books. It was fairly
good and set up as follows:
* Members = Customers.
* Glider rentals = products = *xx Minutes of G103, xx minutes of
2-33, etc.
* Tows = products = xx feet of Pawnee tow, xx feet of Scout tow, etc.
* Winch launch = product.
* They also track instructor flights, and tons of extra info.
* Dues are automatic recurring monthly charges.
It sends bills via email in PDF format.
It creates summaries that look good at the club meetings.
If you get QB or some other s/w, I'm sure you can find more detailed
help in RAS. Heck maybe treasurers could form their own group and
share ideas.


I use QB for my businesses and our club treasurer uses it also.
Certain features expire with age, like disabling the ability to mail
PDF invoices or statements unless you upgrade to the latest version.
Personally I prefer QB over Peachtree, mostly due to the backend
complexity of Peachtree. I know (and host) businesses that absolutely
swear by Peachtree.
