The amount to be made by any organization is 8% from an alcohol stand and 10% from a food stand. Working the stand would involve training sessions as well as a commitment to work more than one event . The board will reconsider this as an option. Much discussion was also about aquiring liability insurance. Quotes will need to be obtained.

Other possible fund raising opportunities are a bowling benefit. The cost at Town and Country runs $18.00 per couple with the best time to be Friday or Saturday night. The alley can accomodate up to 6 people per lane and includes 3 games and shoe rental. A deposit will be required to hold lanes.

Galaxy Lanes offered a cheaper rate as well as a pizza included per lane. 3 games along with shoe rental was also included in price. The board will consider this as a fundraiser after the Summer months.
