It's getting closer and closer to camp. I can't believe it. I hope that you are all filled with ideas on how to make all our dreams happen this year.
I wanted to give you an update on how we are managing with our activities. I think we are in great shape.
When we started dreaming our
estimated costs for the activities during the week would have a retail
value of about $25,000... and I asked you to do it, for $0. That's a
BIG leap! We are not there yet,
but getting closer!
I know you have already seen the schedule of events. Here's where we are at with our small, medium and big ticket items.
Candy - to create candyland/Hershey
Park we are asking volunteers and friends to donate candy and looking
for donations at stores.- This is already happening. Many people have
committed to donating these goodies.
S'Mores - Believe it or not, the four campfires at camp could equal about $800 worth of s'mores!! Once this hit the pipeline our volunteers said they would have this covered.
CHECK!
At
waterfront for an optional activity, looks like we have a bouncer that
new volunteer Kim Bjorklund is willing to lend us. This will be a nice
addition, at no cost!! Thank you Kim :)
We
have three events that require a DJ, we already have TWO covered
without cost and working on two more. we have leads, it's not uncommon
for us to pay for some travel for these types
of things. - Dave has a DJ that will be working our Disney Ball and Jill spoke with Rudy about coming out for beach day.
We
have one event that needs a band with sound equipment, we have a great
lead on getting this for free - again, we may need possibly pay for
travel- This is Kathleen Lao's Brother's Band.
Splish
Splash day - Amazing! we have a quote for about $1400 worth of water
slides and other cool stuff for only $250 bucks! this is a great deal
not only that... I just got a check to have it payed for AWESOME!!
Thanks Rob.
Pizza
for beach day/splish splash day will cost about $1500- That's a pretty
low price for the Pizza!! Maybe we will also get some sponsors.
The
catering for Disney Ball/ Banquet - a big tradition to have this
catered meal... we got an amazing quote of only $9 per person for lots
of bells and whistles, including a pasta
station and paper goods. Thanks for getting this great quote Nicole!
The
dance Dance Revolution - we are still in negotiations, but they have
worked with us in the past and always been quite reasonable. (Dave in negotiations)
The
Carnival is our big ticket! we are looking for underwriters for this
event. Still looking to get bids at this point. (Marissa and Mike
Pulgrano were looking intro this. It's our BIG Ticket item! We hope to
have sponsors for this. It will likely cost around $2500)
Yearbook - We are moving ahead with a soft cover yearbook and Jill is in the process of getting these details for us.
Other Items we need to start working on and need prices.
TShirts - Thanks to Kim Bjorklund's husband Eric we have an awesome logo to work with.
