I was disappointed but not surprised to see how little they
sent -- well, cynics, like pessimists, are happy people
because our expectations are so often met ;-) . Anyway,
with the previous two budgets, I knew a lot more about what
went into them. However, that was because I helped prepare
the last two; in this case, I was not directly involved.
I've wanted to at least put together another spreadsheet
and try some what-ifs with attendance numbers, banquet
ratios, fees . . . I can't get to it until this weekend but
even then it won't be much good without the hotel contract
terms since they are directly related. I haven't seen a
contract and last I heard no one else on the BoD had
either.
Some of what is missing compared to a full fledged proposal
is info about the club, which they might think we already
know. Jim said yesterday (?) he didn't have staffing nailed
down yet, so I expect the staffing piece to be forthcoming
-- after a year, they don't have staffing nailed down,
hmmmmm. And also forthcoming, hopefully, will be the hotel
contract offer. Btw, I hope they didn't sign a cotnract
because we haven't accepted a proposal ;-)
But I wonder if they'll follow the Guidelines and send much
more than that.
Cursory comments:
Looks like their planning on an all-at-once silent auction
rather than an over-the-weekend silent auction. Do they
have enough time to warrant the estimated revenues? I'd
want more time so we could move more items.
I think the raffle revenue estimate is dreamy at 5 bills --
I'd cut it in half to be realistic or maybe even farther to
be conservative for budget purposes. Unless they've got
something better than an aquarium set-up to raffle off --
weekend in Hawaii? Winter in Bonito? Home theater system
with flat panel HDTV?
