Some background information
The cost for attending is a donation of $64.00 per head. How the steering committee came up with $64.00 remains a complete mystery. So where does the money go? Good question.
The school district is charging for opening up the building along with Air Conditioning or Heat and janitorial services - a minimum of 3 hours for several people. Also they require us to provide them with a million dollar insurance policy (I guess they have a long memory of the Class of 64).
East Ridge requires that we spend $9,600.00, so that is why we are having the buffet at around $35.00 per head plus the receipts from the cash bar. There is also the cost for the music. The general consensus is to have a DJ, that way we can control the volume so the folks visiting across the hall and in another room won't have to yell at each other.
We also have some administrative costs for name tags, decorations etc..
Any money left over will be donated to the Byrd Alumni Association.
So as you can see, nobody is getting rich.
