When is the next CAPs meeting to discuss this?
There are some things to be said about using the printshop to raise
income for the Chapter, but I like to hear from press operators who
are students or very recent alums first.

Subject: how should we fund the chapter?
Hi APO!
This is the first email spawned by today's session of CAPS.
As a background for those of you who don't know, for years a big source of
money for the chapter has been working at Reg Day (it made up somewhere
around 1/3 of our budget), and with registration finally moving online,
we're losing that source of income. We brainstormed a list of ways to raise
money and now we want to talk about them. Is there an idea you really like?
Is there something not on the list you want to add? Is there something you
think is a *bad* idea?
Please speak up, even if it's only to say "I like them all!" or "Ooooooh,
silkscreening!"
1. Ramp up the printshop
2. Ramp up silkscreening, especially shirts that appeal to the MIT
community rather than specifically APO
3. take a larger percent of BookEx
4. bake sale
5. actively solicit alumni donations (or senior gifts)
6. make Steak Fry larger/more awesome -- increase starting price at the
auction -- possibly sell tickets
The need to zero out debtlists was also mentioned, but seems to be more a
one-time thing than a sustainable source of funding.
YiLFS,
Rachel
