Lets Talk Money.

I meet with Cara Callanan, the Chief Financial Officer, for the school today to talk about opening up a line of credit for MASh. Since the grant itself is re-reimbursed money, we decided that she will make out a check to me for the Grant amount. I will deposit the check into my account and then keep very good receipts/ records of what we buy. Then after it is all said and done, return the receipts and make sure that all the money has been spent or held accordingly for next year. Then any money that we don't use will be put on hold for the next years MASh coordinators.

So in other words, I will be the MASh Accountant.

Next Steps

MASh Budget Meeting 1

Today we meet up and added up all the money to see how much money we actually had to spend. We then did some research on how much the print goods and promotional items such as stickers and buttons would cost. We also decided to get business cards for MASh just in case we go to an event we can give people information about our event. After we did the calculations ( with shipping included) We had $256.84 and we plan to use the rest to do best in shows and have a few awards given out to the favorites. At the bottom, there is our breakdown of what we plan to buy:

Projected Budget

$930 (Beverly Cultural Council)

$94.68 (Donation Money)

+$100 (Animation Department - amount may vary)

                 _______________________________________________

=$1,124.68

Plans going forward:

After we book the night at the Cabot for $750, we plan to use the money to print out posters, postcards and business cards first to get the word out. We will also have to hand a stack to the surrounding schools for them to hand out. We projected all of that would cost around $200.

If we have any remanding money we plan to use it on stickers, maybe even buttons for a limited edition type promotion.

MASh Final Meeting

MASh Final Meeting!

       So we went over the MASh submissions and they are going good. Last night we had Josh help us revamp the poster. The poster doesn't have an obnoxious blue anymore. The only edits left to do on the poster is to make the actual name MASh bigger and more important.

       We will send out the final submission information for next semester.  I think we will also post the posters later as well.

BCC Meeting

Going to present to the Beverly Cultural Council! Wish us luck!
