BFR
  • Code for discounted member tickets: “Imamember”

  • Max of 256 tickets available
  • $2,000 payment due in June
  • We should set a goal for ourselves to anticipate the next payment that needs to be applied, so no one is paying out of their pocket and getting reimbursed
  • Idea for next year: Early bird special needs a bigger gap between its deadline and the event, to push sales
  • Bake sale should include salty items to go along with refreshments!
