Beginning to Budget Our Costs

Our budget planning is still quite tentative, since it hinges on the unknown costs of location and food, so it is crucial that we finalize our options for these major issues as quickly as possible. We are making more phone calls to locations today (NEU contacts and Haley House, as well as churches if these are not viable options). We are also determining the source of food (Northeastern or donation-based, by local grocery stores listed in previous blog). Because we are hoping to partner with DREAM, transportation (of kids) should not be an issue. The chefs we are bringing in are willing to come for free, but something must be "in it for them"(ie PR & exposure that makes them look good in the community, as well as publicizes their work).

Steps to Completion

What do we still need to bring this project to reality? What are the steps we must take to achieve these short-term goals?
