2011+Dooley+Budget

=2011 Dooley Budget=

Laurie stated that the Dooley Budget is a net zero budget - what ever we spend should be offset by ticket prices and donations that evening.
On her books the Dooley expenses are: Trophies - $400 Printing - $50 Mailers - $150 Food - $500 Cups & Plates - $25 Beverages - $200 Decorations - $50 TOTAL - $1,375

Say we have 60 members and 40 nonmembers come - we need to take in at least $1200 in ticket sales and figure there will be at least $175 in the donation jar. So if we stay with the same price as last year we would only take in $1000. If we raise ticket prices to $12 and $18 we would take in $1,440. Due to attendance of last 2 years (see below) may need to rethink statement above.

After discussion at July 1st meeting it was suggested that the prices be $12 for members, directors, and Dooley performers and the price for all other non-members be $18. If our attendance is the same as the last 2 years we will take in between $1128-$1152. So we would need at least $200 in donations. It would be good to try to encourage more attendance to increase ticket revenue. Will take matter of ticket price to July board meeting for decision.
