Hello All
Just needed to respond to a few things on this thread to keep it in control + perspective.
First off, I am the Vice /Chair of the MSBA 2003 Charity Tournament.
I got involved with this tournament last year on the same level as Gilligan, who is one of my 12 or so tournament volunteers this year.
Gilligan is showing a great deal of enthusiasm to make this a success, take it easy on him, he dosn't know the who's who yet, just as I did not year, it's a bitch doing "cold calling" looking for donations, I (we) are very fortunate to have these people pitching in this year, last year it was done 95% by FOUR people !

I have spent over 60 hours so far just doing PRELIMINARY work for this tournament over the last month, to insure that it be a huge success for the "Dream Come True Fund" a Charity based out of the Weymouth Elks, run by a fellow named "Disney Dan" Kertz, the Fund grants wishes to terminally ill children.

BLOO, As far as operating costs all monies have to be processed thru the club treasury, so its all on the level, if thats what your eluding to.

ALL the PRODUCTS that are donated are split into the prize categories of which there are 40. (last year 20th place Bass or Blue got a West Marine Bag with about $100. worth of stuff ) - what is remaining goes on the raffle table.

The only sources of CASH income for this tournament comes from - of course any Cash donations (relatively small amount)
the income from the Raffle Table and Registrants.
Out of that income comes the OPERATING EXPENSES :
$1000. GRAND PRIZE
TEE SHIRTS
PRINTING-introduction letters, Fliers,Posters, ect.
COPIES
ENVELOPES
POSTAGE
PHONE BILL
GRAPHICS PERSON to do the set up stuff for the printer and tee shirts
GAS - to drop off regisrations and tee shirts at shops
GAS - to pick up regisrations cash and leftover shirts, and drop off Weigh Slips.
GAS - after fishing your a$$ off all weekend to pick up those weigh slips and hurry back to the Awards Banquet.
HALL RENTAL
FOOD
WHEN ITS OVER - Make more copies thank you packs - large mailers or boxes, more postage.
STATIONARY GOODS ,
ECT, ECT, ECT,
Theres a lot a little things that i've seen already ( wallett full of slips from staples and post office !! ) add up quick.
PLEASE help me by contacting me by PM or my personal email -Bails745@attbi.com if you have ANY questions surrounding this tournament I will do my best to answer, or get an answer from another Club Officer. Then feel free to bring it to a open forum.
By the way we could use some leads on product donations - damn near anything you guys think might fit with this tourney.
We have 40 plus bags to fill again this Year, along with the raffle table. Also could use donaton of printing and Tee Shirts.
