For:Ìý May Day Contra Dance

When & Where will this Event Occur

Saturday, May 1^st; 7:30pm-10:00pm in Worsham Hall

Master Calendar Confirmation:Ìý DONE

Event Details:

Contra is a very organic traditional dance. Dances are very popular in the eastern United States, most notably in Appalachia. Some colleges in that region host weekly dances that are major social events for students. These dances also integrate the surrounding community into campus life. This event is being held in conjunction with the Little Rock-based Arkansas Country Dance Society, which hosts weekly dances – Contra and English styles. The ACDS will be bringing callers and regular dancers to help beginners at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. Also, five experienced ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ students will organize a pre-dance beginners’ workshop. ACDS usually pays musicians and callers by charging a $5 admission, but we want this to be a free event for the student body and community.

Dear ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Senators,

My name is Jose Bautista; I am currently the Treasurer of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Habitat for Humanity Chapter. Today, I am writing to clarify the petition for funds for the Habitat for Humanity spring break trip to New Orleans.Ìý

As you know, the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Habitat for Humanity Chapter volunteered in New Orleans from March 13, through March 20, 2010. During this time our students volunteered from 9:00 am through 5:00 pm, with a break around 12:00pm. Today, the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Habitat for Humanity is requesting the amount of $525.00. I will explain in detail how we came up with this amount.Ìý

In order to transport 24 ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ students, we had to use 7 vehicles. The following is the total amount that each driver paid during the trip.

Trevor’s Total = 180.94 ÌýÌý Blake’s Total = 174.00

Matt’s Total =180.30 John’s Total = 287.57Ìý

Caitlin’s Total =286.65ÌýÌýÌý ÌýMolly’s Total =119.21Ìý

Heejun Woo = 146.48Ìý

The total amount of money spent on gas = 1,375.08

ÌýOur club funds are 1,300.00 however we can not utilize all of it because we need it to fund two Habitat for Humanity activities for the rest of the year and before the next Academic year.Ìý

First, our club needs $300.00 to complete the care package program offered at the beginning of next year. This activity is planned before the school year begins. Therefore, it is necessary to have some money set aside since we you guys will not be here to approve discretionary funds.

Secondly, our club needs $150.00 to pay for the expenses to build in North Little Rock. We plan to volunteer at least twice before the end of the year. We need this money to pay for gas and for lunch for those students that volunteer.

ÌýTherefore $300.00 +$150.00 = $450.00, if we subtract this funds necessary to complete the rest of the club’s program from the club’s current funds ($1,300.00 - $450.00 = $850.00) we get 850.00 that we are able to allocate toward paying for gas.

ÌýHence, if you subtractÌýÌýÌý 1,375.08 (gas for the trip)

–ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý 850.00 (money Habitat can contribute)

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý =ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý=

The total isÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý $ 525. 08ÌýÌý

Habitat for Humanity requests the amount of $ 525.00 to reimburse the drivers who paid for gas during the trip. If you have any question please contact me anytime at Bautistajj@hendrix.edu. I am ready to answer any questions or concerns. Thank you for your time. P.S. we have receipts to prove the money spent on gas.
