Need to Update Pickleball Event Cost
Previous Cost $340
This included the fee of a tournament facilitation fee and without paddle rental and without tax
With the paddle rental and tax the cost was $410.00
New Cost: $310.30
This is without the tournament facilitation fee but includes the paddle rental and tax
Originally approved for $340 with the notice of needing to update for food costs
We now have $29.70 to put towards food. I will likely have to ask for reimbursement for total cost
To save as much money as possible, Lauren and Ciara are going to buy wraps and non-alcoholic beverages from CostCo.
