Hi Folks,

 

I had a new member ask what the expenses are for the upcoming rally. I answered the questions based on our current expectations. But I thought I would pass it on for others who may be interested.

 

thanks,

Jack

 

The 29.95 price is the negotiated rate between Hacienda and the Excel Club.
Friday night Margarita night is free altho we do ask you bring some kind of finger food to share.
The wine tasting event should be free (we're still negotiating that event).
We're expecting the cost of Saturday's catered dinner to be between $15-18 per person with the club paying half the cost.
Ice Cream Social on Sunday is free.
Daily breakfast is free.
 
We will also be offering various raffle and door prizes that will go for $1 per ticket and we have a 50-50 raffle (winner gets half of everything donated). These donations go back into the club towards future rallies.

 

Hopefully this helps...keep in mind the events are preliminary and subject to change. But I don't see any additional expenses. These expenses are pretty typical for all our rallies. Let me know if there are any additional questions I can answer...hope to see you there.
