Subject: Re: ordering stock for the press
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?
