Since you asked :-)

The first thing I'd do is make sure that I knew where the money was, 
because the kind of person who would stick the volunteers with such large 
expenses rather than admit to having gone over budget might also embezzle 
the money.

The second thing is that I would recommend to the whole group that nobody 
ever, under any circumstances, volunteer to help that steward/autocrat with 
any project that could possibly cost money.
