Dale Lungwitz asked how the number of tickets sold compared
to previous years. Allen stated at records documenting the
1983 Banquet were not available. owever, the checkbook indicated
$7,100.00 deposited and expenses of approximately $2,500.00,
thus giving a net profit of $4,600.00. It was the Committee's
concensus that the turnout was ver good and the Committee will
feel the results of having our State Senator and Representative
as well as state officials present for quite some time.
Don Smith encouraged the Committee not to look at the banquet
as a failure because the net proftt was $1,500.00 to $2,000.00
short of the goal (which was set v ry high). The exposure with
state officials was extremely invs uable to Monticello. Don
also felt that selling the first ticket at $75.00 and the second
at $25.00 would draw more people b t not increase our profit.
With approximately $20.00/person e pense, we would have to increase
the second ticket to maybe $40.00 r $50.00 ($75.00 first, and
$50.00 second).
.
Don stated that the Committee should not lose sight of the fact
that 110 people attended the banqet. We had some terrific
visibility and still made over $2,000.00 more in profit over
1983. Maybe the structure is goo and should be left as is.
He further stated that Terrell To ers knows Monticello now and
will be of more benefit such as helping with a financial package
for Key Tool and Plastics.
Bud recommended making the first ticket $75.00 and the second
ticket $35.00 for 1985. Allen will work up an analysis on this
for future use. Gary Wieber stated that he would rather see
$75.00 for the first ticket and $50.00 for the second ticket.
Arve Grimsmo stated that he suppo'ted Gary's suggestion. It
was also the Committee's consensus that this is a fund raiser
and we operate off of the profits. Therefore, we should consider
$75.00 and $50.00. Bud Schrupp m ved to amend his previous
$75.00 for the first ticket and $ 5.00 for the second to $75.00
for the first and $50.00 for the thers. It was seconded by
Gary Wieber and passed unanimousl
