Finances/ budget planning

[Argo13]

Guys,

i would like to create a budget so we don't have to make last minute changes like we did last year. Please fill in and add to list items we will to need to pay for or reimburse. Use firm or estimate to describe each item. Take an educated guess be conservative but don't over think. It is just a guide.


Expenses

Hotel- $1200 firm
Vendor room-?
Lunch- $350 estimate
Audio/visual-?
Prizes/vendor thank you. Postage-$50
Name tags-?
Registraion forms-$50 estimate
Swag bags-$300 est. ( IAP supplied last year)
Lathe$500 est ( if not donated)

Others? We had about 2,000 in expenses last year. Swags, forms, name tags and postage donated from committee.

Revenue

Attenders
$15 pre registered (45)- 675 estimate
$20 post pre registered (30) 600 est
$20 vendors (9) $180 est
80-$10 guarantee winner raffle $800 est
MPG (Mark's segmented blanks) $500 est.
2016 overage $459 firm

These estimate will give us some framework as we discuss. If we cut revenue one place or add expenses how will we make it up

Thanks

Jason

I can't think of anything to add right now. Looks good Jason.

Looks fine to me also.

I have lots of the name tags left over, so if those were acceptable, we have plenty for 1-2 more MPG's (these were used at my school, so I have several boxes). There is no cost to us.

I know we talked at the picnic about raising the admission to $25 with no discount.
Jeff said he may print a special t-shirt that can be given away if you pre-pay and sold as well.
I am still working on video
Also not sure if we want to do swag bags this year
