It’s not even close to halfway through the fall quarter of the college year and you’ve spent $4,000 out of the available (year) budget of $7,000?!
I should probably explain that we get $500 per quarter for each clubs funding, plus the ability to request additional funding at a council meeting.
For some god-awful reason, some of the 17 clubs burned through that much within a few weeks. One of them even requested a good chunk of that cash for a bloody guitar.
Looks like we’ve got one hell of a year to burn through - and we’ve seemingly lost standing from within the Student Council, so I guess I’ve got my work cut out along with my club’s president. A WRX STi for your time.
At least we’ve stopped the Pacific Islanders club from asking $4,000 for a luau.

Pretty sure all that money is funding someone’s nose candy. Either that or just sheer stupidity. My money’s on stupidity.

That sounds like not a lot of money... when I was running our club hockey team our yearly budget was always between 15-20k

I was the budget committee chair at my college (“wipdy frikin doooo” in Chris Farley voice) and we had about $60k a semester for a school of 1700. The budget is irrelevant, just be fair and weed out the bullshit. Many of the requests we received were frivolous. If the soccer team asks for 10 new balls at $80 a piece, tell them you’ll give them $150. During the meeting, I would go to Amazon and price soccer balls. If they said the balls weren’t good enough, I’d tell them it’s a club, not a varsity team. Preach fundraising and creativity. The physics club always asked for R2-D2 string lights. I like SW, but I loved denying their request every fucking semester.
