RFC Carnival Gross Revenue Report

[Thomas Steinthal]

Gents -

By all measures, yesterday was a success.  The weather was perfect,  
and the children were all smiles.  Thank you all for all of your  
help.  This event is only possible with the help of many people.  Andy  
drove the raffle.  Hutch ran inside and was covered in cotton candy.   
Tim ran the grill crew.  Phil & Ed helped in many ways in prep and  
during execution.  If I counted it right 65 dads worked the event this  
time, and most did double or triple shifts.  Stacey pulled together  
about 20 8th graders of which 3 of them worked 7 hours at the event!

Financially here are the numbers
Raffle - $10,560 - a $1,700 increase over last year.  Way to go guys!
Silent auction - $2,770 - a $130 decrease over last year.
Food - $1,235 - a $271 decrease - entirely due to our very competitive  
pricing
Rides - $5,231 - a $1,675 decrease.  Given this was a holiday weekend,  
and given we lowered the price on some of the rides, I think we did  
great on this as well.

Gross total - $19,797 - a $376 decrease over last year.  Given all  
that is going on in the world these days, we are very pleased to be  
inside of 2% of last year's gross.

On the net side, we have to thank Powell's Catering for the burgers,  
dogs, and grills and Mike Caponiti for the drinks - all of which were  
donated completely so our food gross went straight to the bottom  
line.  We will get a bill from PM Amusements, but we expect to net  
almost the same as last year.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Tom
