Re: [AGA-mcm] AC 2005 Class Sponsorships (fwd)

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

How much does it cost to sponsor the class.  I'm not philosophically opposed 
as long as it's not too much.

While we're discussing it, though, we should probably discuss a general 
policy for this type of thing.  Maybe have like $100 limit on sponsorships, 
first come first served.  Otherwise, once the word gets out that we're doing 
it, we could have meore requests than we can fulfill, and end up with hard 
feelings when we turn some club down.  If we have a set policy, we can say, 
"Gee, we would have been happy to support your club if you'd contacted us 
earlier.  But our sponsorship budget is already used up for the year. 
Remember to contact us earlier next year!"
