  3. Y Fee Structure: The Problem • Problem Statement: We give money to the Y… What do we get in return? What should we get? • Current Fee Structure: • $30 per person or $110 per family to “join the Y” • $30 per family to “join the Questors” • The BIG Issue: • The only place where Y membership comes into play is with fall and winter campout attendance • The impact on the Questor is that this directly adds to campout cost; so, if you only go to one (of the Y) campouts, you may as well add this fee to the cost of the campout • Can we make it so that we know that our money is actually doing something that helps the Questor program (or a targeted program, like Camp AIM)?

  4. Y Fee Structure: Options • Accept the status quo • Propose an alternative: • Could a quota of wreath sales offset Y membership? How many wreaths would you have to sell? • Could a donation of time and/or money to soliciting for Camp AIM offset Y membership? How much money to raise, how much time to donate? • Secede from the Y • Same group goals and objectives, just not affiliated with the Y • Still able to go to Y camps (maybe a little more expensive) Now is the time to identify alternatives so that we can decide what to do

  5. Fund Raising/Finances • Money is being spent • Kon-a-Palooza Flyers • Pool Party food and supplies • Anticipated upcoming expenses • Fireworks • Recruiting • There needs to be money coming in to the program to pay for the future of the program • Wreath Sales • Donations • Ideas? • We need to establish a bank account and assign a treasurer to manage the books

  6. Recruiting • Pool Party held at the Y pool August 27 • One (1) potential Questor in attendance • Spent funds on food and supplies • Issues with grill, Y support • Recruiting brochure for Kon-a-palooza • Spent money printing flyer • No new recruits from K-O-P • Ideas?
