When the club buys an item, an individual member submits the expense Report in the Concur system to request reimbursement, identifying the reimbursement to be from the club’s District Dollars account. The item reimbursement request amount must be equal to or less than the money accumulated in the club’s District Dollars account, even if the receipt is for a larger amount.
