Printing costs - flyers, event banners, signs. |
| Ops-Advertising and Publicity (+) | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 |
Tablecloth for tabling (should be a one-time cost) Cheap speakers for Activities Fair and to draw people into events |
| Ops-Operational Computing Expenses (+) | $130.00 | $10.00 | $10.00 |
10 dollars for the domain name reservation / year 10 dollars for maintenance / month We've been doing a lot of collaboration with Pitt and Duquesne for our Smash and LoL tournaments. However, our facebook group is locked to CMU students only, so they have trouble accessing information about events. We have over 200 members so it's not feasible to just remake, so we need another quick method of distributing event information. Contact Computing Club about server space. They'll host website. |

Pens and paper-for mailing list signups and impromptu signs. |

Event Equipment
| Object Code | Requested | Recommended | Final | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ops-Equipment Repair (+) | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
An xbox broke this year and we need to have it repaired. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $90.00 | $90.00 | $90.00 |
Controllers for xbox (3 @ 30 dollars each) - we currently have too few for 4-player games. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $90.00 | $90.00 | $90.00 |
Controllers for gamecube/wii (3@30 dollars each) - we currently too few for our tournaments and many of our controllers have broken from overuse) |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $600.00 | $600.00 | $600.00 |
(Wanted to put this as capital equipment but couldn't find the category) Two Wii Us (~300 each). Smash Bros is our most popular game, and a new Smash game is set to come out next year for the Wii U. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $120.00 | $120.00 | $120.00 |
videogames - 2 copies of Smash Bros for Wii U (60 each). |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
Replacement ethernet cables and one more switch for LAN parties since our memberbase has jumped this year and we can't handle current internet loads at events. We've been leeching off the kindness of computing services this year, but I don't think they can afford to continue lending us equipment. |
| Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) | $30.00 | $30.00 | $30.00 |
Megaphone - sometimes we need to get everyone's attention. When we have 100 people crammed in a room, this is a pretty effective method that saves our vocal chords. |
| Sub-Total | $1,130.00 | $1,130.00 | $1,130.00 |
Outside Costs - Rentals and Services
| Object Code | Requested | Recommended | Final | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ops-Rental Equipment (+) | $300.00 | $300.00 | $300.00 |
We've been using Mediatech to get projectors a lot this semester. At roughly between 50 dollars to 100 dollars per hour, We'd like to add this to our budget so we can use the projector more at our events. (Projectors are useful for tournaments where there are a large number of viewers. We generally use them for our final round) |
| Ops-AB Tech (+) | $300.00 | $300.00 | $300.00 |
We're planning an annual city-wide LAN that will bring in between 150-250 attendees. We'd like to apply preemptively for funding to get AB-tech support for next year's LAN. |
| Sub-Total | $600.00 | $600.00 | $600.00 |
For Attendees
| Object Code | Requested | Recommended | Final | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food-Meals for Members (+) | $550.00 | $550.00 | $550.00 |
Pretty much copied from last year: OGS event times cover both lunch and dinner. Combined with our member count, we have to buy a lot of food( about 8 pizzas per event * $10 per pizza * 10 events minimum per academic year - closer to 20 events this last year). This is a much needed expense. We have about 140 active members currently on The Bridge, about 250 active members on our Facebook group (which is our main form of operation), and closer to 1000 people on our mailing list. Last year JFC said they'd max sponsor $2 per person up to $200 per semester. If those are the budgets given, then I think we deserve the full 400. However, we're asking for slightly more because we don't know if that cutoff is the same this year, and we REALLY need this money. Having free food at events makes a huge difference on attendance, and as a club that wants to promote socialization, that's probably the most important thing to us. I don't want to put you in a bad position, so if you need to cut down costs here and there, we understand. However, we figured we'd ask, and the worst you could say was "no". |
| Food-Refreshments for Events (+) | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
Refreshments and energy drinks for events. 10 events per year - LOL event (done by demand) - 60 ppl average & Smash event - 60 ppl average. |
| Sub-Total | $650.00 | $650.00 | $650.00 |
