The $319.95 for timpani heads would definitely come out of that pool of money without issue. I vote YES on this immediate purchase.</div><div><br></div><div>There is no money in the budget allocated for donation to JP2. There is also no money in the budget for hiring an outside graphic artist to do our concert programs and posters. Which means this money is going to have to come from the following sources: private donations, corporate donations, corporate matching funds, money buckets at concerts, program ad sales, CD/DVD sales, and rewards programs (Kroger, Amazon Smile, etc.). I believe we have donations sitting in Pay Pal, and as soon as I can get logon information from Jen Grace, I will transfer that money to our account. </div><div><br></div><div>I have seen $0 from money buckets for either the Eisemann or the Senior Center concerts. If someone has these funds, please bring them to me ASAP.</div><div><br></div><div>It’s only January, but if we don’t step up collections in these areas, particularly the concert buckets (where we usually take in $5000 per year), we will finish the year $7800 below our income target. We spent a good portion of our cash reserves last year on The Stockton Helbing Trio and TBA trip. We still have a small buffer, but we will easily use it for chairs and a graphic artist.</div><div><br></div><div>I’m not voting NO on the chairs, but we need a commitment from the board to ensure we raise more funding via the sources I mentioned above, or other creative methods.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Jennifer</div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Board <<a href="mailto:board-bounces@planoband.com">board-bounces@planoband.com</a>> on behalf of Jim Carter via Board <<a href="mailto:board@planoband.com">board@planoband.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Reply-To: </span> Jim Carter <<a href="mailto:jcarter@crumc.org">jcarter@crumc.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Thursday, January 11, 2018 at 1:10 PM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> "<a href="mailto:board@PLANOBAND.COM">board@PLANOBAND.COM</a>" <<a href="mailto:board@PLANOBAND.COM">board@PLANOBAND.COM</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> [Board] Chair Pricing for JP2<br></div><div><br></div><div xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 14 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
