  20. What would you do? A team exercise!

  21. Question 1 • You want to buy some beautiful handmade paperweights as prizes for children in one of your programs. It’s only going to cost you $100 to buy a hundred! The guy who makes and sells the paperweights is your secretary’s oldest son, and he accepts P-Cards. Do you use your P-Card to buy them?

  22. Question 2 • You need to buy two overhead projectors for a meeting you’re holding. They cost $3,000, each. If your card transaction limit is $5,000, how are you going to get the projectors in time for the meeting?

  23. Question 3 • You accidentally left your receipt in your pants pocket—the pants that are in the washing machine, right now! What are you going to do about it?

  24. Question 4 • Computers “R” Us is having a sale on a printer that your boss desperately needs. They’re half-off, only costing $3,720, which, for these printers, is a really cool deal. In fact, your boss is ready to go out and buy it this very afternoon with his P-Card! What advice would you give him?

  25. Question 5 • You bought some office supplies over the phone from a locally-owned store with your P-Card two weeks before Christmas. The next day, the store owner, who is the nicest woman you’ve ever met, delivers you the supplies, along with a beautiful fruitcake. What would you do?

  26. Thank you!
