Sounds great Bill. I'll do what I'm told.
As long as I can find a way to have some PharmAde, I'll be happy.

Maybe the Pharms will tell me what I need to bring. ;)
Some people never find it, some only pretend
But me, I just want to live happily ever after every now and then.

Assuming it happens, the party will be strictly BYOB. There will be no open access to alcohol like before. Everyone will pre-pay for food, with the extra going to charitable causes. Based on 800 people I think we can feed everyone cheeseburgers and hot dogs, provide the supplies, get a few porta-potties, and pay a band and a DJ for around $3k. If we charge $10 per person that's $8k in revenue, so net proceeds would be around $5k.

If we sell 200 T-shirts at $25 each, we should net around $3k in T-shirt sales.

With this approach I wouldn't split out the item assignments like the last 2 years. We would keep track of how many people paid, and buy the stuff according to the number of people. This is similar to what the NC crew did in Raleigh last year.

I'm starting the process of setting up a 501(c)3, but if we're talking April it probably won't be ready in time. In that case I'll work with one of our registered non-profits from last year to become an authorized fundraiser for them.

Is anyone strongly opposed to this approach?
sounds ok to me!!
I'm just READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wench:
