MMS FORMAL PROPOSAL BY JORDAN REEVES

TOTAL BUDGET MMS 8 TH Graders have been working extremely hard doing various fundraisers. As a result of our hard work we have raised a total of $9,635. This money will be used to cover the cost of the following:  venue (location)  entertainment  refreshment & decorations.

ENTERTAINMENT CHOICES (TRADE-OFFS)  Local Band from Montgomery$1,000  Better Band from Birmingham$2,500  Even Better Band from Atlanta$4,000  Popular New group from Atlanta$5,000  Popular, Nationally known Band from LA or NYC$6,500  Well Known, Internationally known Band form LA or NYC$8,000

ENTERTAINMENTS DECISION I selected a band from Birmingham at the cost of $2,500. I felt that we could get a band everyone would enjoy for a fairly good price. This will leave us $7,135 towards our location, food and decorations.

LOCATION CHOICES (TRADE-OFFS)  Millbrook Middle School: Gym or Cafeteria$ 0  Millbrook Civic Center$ 500  Wetumpka Civic Center$1,000  Marriott Hotel at RTJ Golf Course in Prattville$2,000  Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Montgomery$3,000

LOCATION DECISION As our location I selected the Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Montgomery at the cost of $ I selected this location so we can have a very large but nice conference room that will be large enough for a live band, a dance area and an area for refreshments and possible tables and sitting. This will leave us $4,135 towards our food and decorations.

REFRESHMENTS & DECORATIONS TRADE-OFFS  Decorations only- no food or drinks$ 750  Decorations plus light snacks and drinks catered$1,250  Decorations plus MORE (3 times as many) snacks and drinks catered$3,000  Decorations plus a full meal with dessert catered$5,000

REFRESHMENTS & DECORATIONS DECISION I chose to pay for decoration and 3 times as many snacks and drinks so that everyone would have enough food. This would allow for everyone to have refreshments through the entire event. This will leave us $1,135 towards our class project.
