-We need to decide how many events we are having at Zephyr’s this year. Matt Patterson has the price breakdown (please include this on the agenda); we just need to guarantee a certain number of events to lock-in the discounts. April makes event #4. There was discussion of what price for odd numbers of events (5, 7, 9, 11) - I will have an answer by our meeting.

0-4 Events for the year = $1000 per event day
6 events = $5000
8 events = $6500
10 events = $8000
12 events = $9000
