Dean and I will aquire the fabric as we have wanted to do so for a while.
We've no problem paying for this and retaining the fabric as ours but using
it for the club as well. This should bring the communal cost down a tad.
Unless the club wants its own fabric -- speak now. :-)
So who all is chipping in to this endeavour? Should I e-mail the list of
people who originally said they'd help with events and find out who wants to
chip in? Alternatively, a sponsorship is a good idea, but $30 may not cover
the percentage allotted to each individual willing to help out with this
event financially. More sponsors would be needed.
Further ideas, comments, flames...
