It's time to be creative!

Just talked to Nikki Estes at Southarts and it looks like we've got $2k in  
support of making sure everyone attends the winter booking meeting. Our  
original proposal to SouthArts was to cover every attendee's registration  
fee of $65 and then take what's left over and divide it among the  
participants to help with travel expenses. However, we have some freedom in  
that regard as long as we tell SouthArts how we're using the money. $2000  
has to be spent on getting folks to the conference. Nikki thinks, and I'm in  
agreement with this, that our guiding principle should be to make sure that  
folks who have travel restrictions get the support they need to attend in  
spite of those restrictions and then use the remaining money to defray  
whatever meeting/travel expenses we can for everyone attending. Otherwise,  
we just get the same 20 of us at the meeting and it costs each of us less to  
attend.

Normally, I'd bounce this off the board and then we'd make a decision but in  
this case, I'm looking for ideas and the more the merrier. The goal here is  
100% participation from all venues. Whether a venue sends more than one  
person matters not - it's 100% of the venues. Now, that ain't gonna happen  
unless Harry sends someone from Tennessee Valley Theatre, 'cause he's out of  
the country that week, but you get the idea.

So my question is - what is your best idea for using $2000 to make sure  
everyone but Harry is in Dickson on January 30. The board will make the  
final decision from among your suggestions. Everyone's going to get  
something, but I'm looking for ideas that will get everyone there, whether  
everyone gets the same amount of support or not. I need your ideas by Monday  
afternoon.

Oh, and so far, 8 of you have responded about attending. Let me know your  
plans!

Thanks in advance,

Bob
