So, we need to raise a minimum of $2500 to cover the food costs for Saturday night and to pay for the hospitality suite for the weekend and to have some food and drinks in the suite for everyone to munch on.
I thought some of the food costs for Saturday was going to be covered by our bar tab? Or did I misread?
We need to spend $1500 on Saturday. Part of that will be offset by the bar tab, but last year in DC we spent less that $1000 in drinks.
So, for safety sake I'd like to collect for the worst possible situation. If we raise a ton of money maybe we can do an open bar for part of the night.
Also, does that big post look like it's ready to put up in Press?
Will it be first come first serve for the scholarship fund?

Ah, gotcha. And here I thought we were such a reliable bunch of lushes!
Will it be first come first serve for the scholarship fund?
Yes, I believe this is what will work the best. I'll post updates about how much is in the fund and if we have a need for more money in it. That way both sides can stay anonymous.

FWIW, I would be relieved to know that we had gathered enough to offset the costs of the food and beverages since it's my credit card that will be charged otherwise.

Okay, I'm going to post this in press and link over to here for discussion.
So, if it's first come first serve, and someone who doesn't need the money (like me) were to ask for it, that person would get it?
I suppose so. I'd hope that people would only ask if they need it but it's pretty much the honor system. I'm not going to be running credit checks.
