Okay, I decided to make this progress thread so we can all post progess in one spot rather than scatter it over several threads.

Thanks,
Shoe

Ok, one thread it is.

Ken: Unfortunately the banquet is not an event.

Don: $330 is the total subsidy. Any more cash has to come from entry fees and sponsors.

Note: I don't know how Clay has dispersed the cash we gave him in previous years. I know Charlie, as the MUSR/SIG coordinator, used to set up a specific SIG account and kept the cash in it rather than a personal account to avoid potential abuse accusations. They never happened but still, it may be a good idea.

A special account is a good idea. Now that we know how much there is I can start ordering the awards and such. Thanks Ron

Okay, I have confirmed room rates for the hotels and also confirmed that we will use the Country Mountain Inn as headquarters and also for the banquet. I still need to talk to the caterer guy which I wasn't able to get a hold of today but will try and nail that down tomorrow.

Just checking in.

Not able to do "Internet" too much so call me if there are any questions I can help with. ~Ron

Ron... never did receive those documents you told me you sent. Just to verify, my email is smschleif@gmail.com

thanks.

I talked to the caterer tonight and should have the menue and such nailed down tomorrow.

I also talked to Travis and he has the car show handled and I now know what awards are needed. I will begin working on that as soon as I figure out our budget. Travis asked me if we were going to break even. We HAVE to break even as I can't afford to take a hit like other planners have said they have. May need some help determining the registration fee to make sure this happens.

Keep up the good work guys.

Here is a Flyer of the Motel website...

I'm not at home on the computer that has those files on it. I'll give Don a call so he can forward it to you when he gets home. Remember, I'm not hardly on the Internet until I get back Sunday.

Thanks, Ron

Steve, don't worry about the files I have. You've already done what we need with yours. When I get home tomorrow night I'll put together the paperwork we need and make sure that all is there. Then it's a matter of coordinating with my pres, Charlie and the zone rep.

Close to the event the insurance forms have to be submitted as well but that's a simple thing and I have to initiate it. We will have copies of the "proof-of-insurance" that have to go along to the event and be available for scrutiny by anyone participating in it.

Ron,

If you need me to put anything else together in "flyer" format, let me know.

To All

Take a look at the fantastic flyer that Steve has put together on the "Flyer" thread. Unless there are objections I vote that we adopt it and start distributing ASAP!

Thanks, jcb.

Just realized the flyer doesn't have anything about the host hotel. Does that need to be added?

steve

Not to worry. (contrary to my earlier statement about getting it all in one place)
The details of the hotel can be found on the MUSR webpage and they need to go there to register anyway.

Yeah, I thought of that after I posted.

Regarding Ron's comment about setting up a MUSR12 checking account: 100%. Working with similar "self" funded events in the past (long ago with Roadrunner Region, but that's another story) the biggest benefit of a stand alone checking account is the ability to pass along the revenue/expenditure information to future planning teams. I hate having to re-invent the wheel when others before me have contributed.

Along another thought - when the time comes whom/how does the information about the MUSR12 event get posted in the "Forthcoming Calendar Events within the next 30 days" section of the 914World? How about other forums (914Club, NARP, etc)?

Super job getting this out quickly guys. This flyer is the best I've ever seen!

Ignore the reference to the flyer correction. John and I just talked and I now understand "OARK". I'm going to see Chuck Weeks, our president, this afternoon and will present this to him so we can get the other paperwork started.

That's a background process to these threads.

~Ron

The subsidy paperwork is out to all members to be signed. I'm awaiting it's return to be forwarded to John Shoffit. I'll let you guys know when that happens.

Party on Wayne

Okay folks, we seem to keep slipping to the second page of the garage. Let's try and keep this bumped some way or another. Have the t-shirts been displayed and advertised? We need to make those availalable to everyone, even those not attending. They are way too good looking of a shirt not to share. Have we decided on a color? I know I still need to find out about whatever it was I am supposed to be checking on for Steve.

Does anyone have any updates to share. You guys have been kind of quiet. Registration is going very slowly. I hope we get more people so we can cover cost.
