I have been in clubs that would pay the entrance fee for members to attend. Then they did not attend, so the club lost the money. So we started collecting a check for the amount of the fee from the members when they said they would attend. We purchased the tickets from the treasury. When they attended, we gave back their checks. Those not attending, we cashed the checks to cover the loss of the ticket price.
