Len and Nicole,
Last week I bought a box of 250 white, 4 bar paneled cards and
envelopes for SFF invitations (they're now on the shelf in the plastic
bag, Kristin will use them tomorrow). I have the receipt - what should
I do with it?
I left a list at Paperworks in Allston to be modified and delivered/
picked up later. Classic Crest stopped producing 4 bar non-paneled
announcement cards a year ago, I don't know why and neither do they.
We're high on 5 and 5 1/2 bar cream stuff, also they don't have any 5
bar stock. These are the items I listed:
4 bar white paneled cards
4 bar white envelopes
4 bar cream paneled cards x2
4 bar cream envelopes x2
5 1/2 bar white paneled cards x2
5 1/2 bar white non-paneled cards x2
5 1/2 bar white envelopes x4
6 bar white paneled cards x2
6 bar white non-paneled cards x2
6 bar cream paneled cards x2
6 bar cream paneled cards x2
6 bar cream envelopes x4
These alone costs roughly $500. The budget for the press shop this
semester is $50. Nicole told me that we have no record of the fund
since and during previous years. I was also told by someone that
budget generally doesn't stack. Can someone clarify on how this really
works? I've been always under the impression that the press shop is a
self-supporting part of the Chapter, especially since we do have
income that has to go somewhere - and the general APO account doesn't
seem to be a reasonable answer.
Len - what color and how many of the Ideal Jersey cards do you want?
Folders?
