I, Suzanne, would like to make a motion for Winter Guard to receive $2,939.00, plus a $50 deposit per room (WG), to cover hotel expenses.
WINTER GUARD TRAVEL
Motion Submitted by: CG Chair Suzanne Quintero-Obert
Second by: Co-CG Chair Julia Cook
I move that ECBPA approve the allocation of $2,939.00, plus a $50 deposit per room, for Winter Guard’s (WG) hotel accommodations.
Due to some miscommunication between the Guard Chair’s, the finances were not in order. However, with the assistance of Treasurer Chair Robin, I, Suzanne, have corrected the records. I can now confidently report that the Guard has $2,581.96 in its account.
Winter Guard has been fundraising for an overnight event. Their Championship Competition is on April 12th. Originally, the plan required the team to wake up at 4:00 AM, travel, practice, compete, attend awards, and return home around 2:00 AM—making for an extremely long day. This year, to ensure better rest and performance, the team will travel up on Friday afternoon and get a good night's sleep. They will then stay Saturday night to attend Sunday’s competition events, where the adult independent groups perform. This is a valuable opportunity for our JV members to see what they can achieve with dedication and hard work..
At the General Meeting, I originally requested $3,258.78 for this trip. We are still waiting for $440 in pledged donations, leaving $336.82 unaccounted for. To reduce costs, we have switched hotels. The new accommodations will cost $2,939.00, plus a $50 deposit per room for 8 rooms in total.
At this time, we have received a generous $1,500 donation from the Optimist Club, bringing the guard account total to $4,081.96 (including this deposit).
