I mentioned it at council, but as<br>> Chair of the financial committee, I'm going to be a bit hard-nosed about<br>> having our 2014 bids in by Nov at the latest, so we can ensure everything is<br>> tickety-boo by Dec. Especially the winter event.<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> Our main events are:<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> Spring TUTR, ??, 4/22<br>> Fall Camping, Port Alberni: 9/22<br>> Winter Event, ??, 11/22 <-- yes, november this time.<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> We held off on June/August reservations until we found out if we're getting<br>> any of our Principality Event Bids.<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> If you have an event you'd like to run that isn't one of these, by all<br>> means, pitch it to us. But we need bids for these this coming, or the next,<br>> council. And when a bid is awarded, one of your first priorities will be to<br>> lock in a site.<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> So what do event stewards need? A membership, a partner, and a budget. A<br>> budget requires a potential site. A budget also requires flexibility; if the<br>> financial committee says 'we need you to adjust your expected attendance' or<br>> 'we need you to charge another two dollars', this isn't a slam against you!<br>> It's just our job to make sure the event has the best possible chance of<br>> breaking even/making money -- especially those three above, which are really<br>> the only opportunity for our branch to make the money required to do things<br>> like buy an Iron Key shed and reserve sites for events. If you want to run<br>> an event but don't have a membership, consider the $30 associate... but if<br>> not, find a member to co-steward with you. :) We'll make it work.<br>><span
