We finished tallying 2013 expenses & we actually have a significant surplus - a first for us! : )
That means we have a decision to make.
1. Do we use it for 2015 deposit?
Reason A: This allows us to contact MBSP in January 2014 when 2015 calendar opens & have a chance at choosing a date that we like.
Typically we contact park office in August & there are only 1-2 available dates.
That is why we didn't go in 2012 - early August & late October were only dates left.
Oct. 3-5, 2014 was only date available when I called on 8/9/13 - we had to pay deposit within 2 weeks or lose it.
Luckily you all are awesome & started paying as soon as I emailed group, but we kind of scramble each year which is no fun for Mike & I.
Reason B: It allows us to have funds available to offer scholarships next year (we were able to provide some this year).
Reason C: Another idea is lowering the 2014 registration fee.
Actually this year we lowered 2011 fee from $25/$45 to $20/$40 per individual/couple for 2013.
2. Do we refund each individual/couple?
I haven't crunched the numbers, but it would probably be about $5 per individual/couple.
Reason A: It is always nice to have extra money.
Mike, you get to deal with that fun since you have the money. : )
Let us know your answers.
What do you want done with surplus money?
