[NCUC-EC] Budget allocation for NCUC Anniversary Party - Sunday Oct 18th

[William Drake]

Hi

Further to the thread that’s been running on the members list concerning our 16 anniversary party, James Gannon has spent a bunch of time looking at sites and negotiating with staff on our behalf, and then there’s been a lot of coordination over the details of what we can afford, different configurations of refreshments, speakers, invitations, and all the rest.  And what we’ve come up with as the best deal is 

> Sunday, 18 October -  19:00 to whenever

which, while a little more than I’d hoped (Dublin’s expensive), is still well less than we spend to bring people to a given meeting, and after all we only turn sweet 16 once and have never done this before. So I’m comfortable with a $3,000 budget (as is PIR, our main benefactor) and after the food and drink we get for that is gone people can pay out of pocket.

Milton has made the downpayment and will handle paying off the remainder of the contract, so we just need to authorize his reimbursement. We can do this in Dublin when we meet on Saturday afternoon.

Best

Bill
