Okay. Regarding the breakfast sponsorship, uh we need to make sure that I and the chamber which are sponsoring breakfast make their check out to the town of Miami Lakes and then the town of Miami Lakes will use those funds to pay for
the breakfast order. That's how it's got to be. >> Okay. And Okay. And the the chamber is in for 250 to 300. >> Beautiful. Okay. And BNI will match whatever. So I think I I think I think
we can just go for 250 >> 250 >> and 250 from the chamber, 250 from BNI. Have you spoken to Manny Matthew or do I need to let him know that? >> I have not spoken to >> Okay, so I will speak to Manny. Okay, that is me.
>> Town of Miami Lakes. >> Mhm. So yes, check made out to town of Miami Lakes. I have a question because I know that BN when do you need the check? Not just by one, but if they don't have checks available, do you can they sell you >> or can they sell the town or it has to be a hard check? >> A check.
>> Has to be a check. Yeah. Or you can do a >> Oh, they can do a so that we can get like the routing and the account number or something. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. Please could you email it to me so I can have it for for if the chamber does Yeah. >> So, I don't know if they have this set
up, but normally when we do the AC very um do we do that? The organizations normally have a form where we kind of fill out that information. If not, let me find out if there's another way to do it. I'm just asking if you guys have that. >> Okay, >> definitely not.
>> I'll find out for you. >> Okay, let us know and I'll let you >> I'll I'll email you. I'll check with Manny if we have checks for that account and then >> because probably we right wait probably we have to give you our our account number and then you go in and a out.
>> No, no, that's how we know. Let me ask finance anything. Okay. No, no, no. That's how it works. >> The question The question is for the right. The order would be for uh September 26. How far in advance do you guys need this money? >> Let me um
So, it's okay. It's okay that they're a little late because, you know, they're partners that we work with and I'm not concerned because worst case scenario, I'll pull it from your account. Like, if the money never comes, just understand ABC's going to get hit with it. >> Um so, I'm not concerned about the other. Okay. And then as far as the
breakfast order goes, you guys are going to place the order. >> I do place it, but if there's a special place or whatever you guys >> Let's talk real quick. Do we have any preference as to where we order from at this point? I I I mean, I know we want to keep things local, whatever. I I I
don't know if mayors can maybe cater to this, but I was just thinking Panera. It is easy. It is simple. They deliver. Like, it doesn't get any better than that. >> We have the tax exempt set up with them, too. Oh, there you go. We're tax ex example toner. So, >> they experiment. >> There's not Miami Gardens. Miami
Gardens. Miamiardens. >> Yeah. And there's also a new one in Halia which is really nice off of uh the Palmetto. >> Um so I I I'm trying to think the other place is maybe BB's. >> We could we can reach out to BB's and see if they Okay. Can you work that out for me?
>> Excellent. Okay. So we have around >> 500 and we need to feed let's just say like >> let's say let's say let's say 90 let's say 90. >> Remember that in that money we also wanted to do the mini water bottles cuz that was a
big thing last year. We didn't have any water during the event. >> It was it was not a good look. >> So we So George would provide that as well. BB >> I mean I mean George could provide that or we were just thinking of buying mini water bottles at Costco. saying factor it into the cost of the 500
>> and something like that grand it's it's it's 40 or $40 five 40 bottles is 5.95 something >> size and then we're talking about the >> the little ones >> so we would need to be double >> let me see one second please
>> we definitely have budget $6 we don't need to tap into the 500 maybe >> we don't need to tap into that that well that's my next item is budget so let's >> I need to work I'll give us the updated budget. >> Okay, great. So, let's let's get there in a second. Okay, so let's So, Matt will talk to George from BB's. Um,
please include delivery cuz we don't have time to be picking that up that morning. Okay, please. >> Gotcha. Yeah. >> Luckily, he's right there. >> I know. I know. But please, but please and we're, you know, >> if if he can do it, yeah, we go. Then if he cannot do it, >> correct. Then we >> then we go to Panera, right?
>> Yeah. >> I'll put that in a minute. So, >> Paner This way, we're sponsoring a local business. >> Exactly. Okay. Excellent. A okay, let's uh reminders. These are just things about the events. Friday, September 26. Throw it in your head. We start registration at 9:00. The welcome
and intro is at 9:45. The first presenter is at 10:00. Okay. Our uh our agenda runs through 12:30 and then at 12:30 concluding comments and we go to Chelas for the happy hour. Um let's go into new business. The budget allocation, what we've all been waiting for.
>> Break it down for us. Isle fab. Oh, or Matt can play his own. >> Yeah, one second. Let me read you. >> Sorry, I missed. >> I mean, I can I can read it. I have $3,538 of available funds for marketing. This
is all of EC. Okay. >> 1 $1,500 um available funds for business networking and 2,000 available for seminars. >> And that that doesn't include the garrison in it yet, right? The 500 million. I don't think so.
>> Marketing three months of networking 1,500 for networking for business networking >> and 2,000 for seminars which is the boot camp, >> right? And this is what's left through September 30. We have to minus out of there of $500
on the networking social side there, >> right? So it's technically a thousand on the network. >> The next two are are already in the works. The next one is >> well I guess we still have to approve it but we'll worry about that at the next meeting interrupt this. >> So the next two are still within this budget. Yes that are coming up and that
would be what another 500. >> Yeah cuz right now I know how it is here. We have to kind of use it. So >> yeah and I'm going to double check anyways to see what invoices have hit that one just so we're a little certain though that it's just 500 off >> sure. So if we already minus out of the
networking the 1500 the 500 that we that we're paying for the garrison >> that should technically be zeroed out. Okay so let's go >> with the garrison the next one in the chamber it should be zero. >> So really it's 7,000 it's we have 7,538
excuse me 538 >> I thought the marketing fund was at like 2400. I don't know where we got that. >> Didn't we just get an additional amount from something like the other day? Is wasn't that what what happened? I I thought last meeting we discussed that we were getting something additional that came out of I don't know where and
that's why we needed this balance, >> right? Maybe. >> No, no. I'm just saying I thought we had less than what we have now. That's why. But I I remember that that contract got cancelled and then maybe >> we got something back. I'm pretty sure. >> Yeah. We have to worry about that. >> Yeah. Okay. So, the networking is zeroed out. So, we're left with 5538. Okay.
Perfect. So out of the 5538 breakfast is covered at 500. Um >> well that's the >> that's the donation. That's the donation. Uh I I think we need to give something in kind to Chelas for the networking event, right? To cover,
right? Some some drink tickets, some appetizers. Um what I really wish Carlos Gio was here because he's the one that is the marketing mastermind. Um, so I I I think the the bulk Yeah, I think the bulk of this can definitely go towards the marketing efforts. Oh, out of this
another 500 is coming out to pay Vanessa. >> I also remember we have to be a little bit anal with the line items. So what is this,000? >> Do we do we have a budget or or we're making the budget as we >> I'm doing it right now. So So we have a total of 5538
>> to play with right between market is for the seminar. The rest of it is for marketing. That's what we got to like >> breakfast is 500. >> No, but breakfast is come out of there. >> No, no. Right. But we put in kind. Yeah. >> Yeah. We'll put it in the budget and then we're getting donations.
>> So So 500 for Vanessa. Vanessa >> is coming out of the seminar allocation. >> So that leaves us at 1,500 for the seminar >> or marketing because she's she's doing >> we could really take it out of >> you could take that either one. You know, but we'll call it marketing because you know that way. Well, I mean
that she's a social media professional, so you know, so that but I I would say >> No, he just means a marketing line item. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Take it out of there. >> My my thing is though out of the seminar line item, >> it's 2K there. >> It's two It's 2K in there. Okay. So, I
think certainly out of the seminar line item, Chelas needs to come out. >> Yeah, I agree with that. >> So, Chelas needs to come out. Um, I think for sure we should probably assume about a thousand thousand dollars out of Chelas. >> That I have no idea. >> We have to talk to Carlos about that
question. Yeah. >> But I would think >> the swag bags also would come out of marketing. I would think. >> Correct. Not the seminar. Right. Right. Right. So the swag bags out of marketing. >> I'm doing these swag bags this year without >> I know it was nice last year that had like business boot camp but I'm getting it without that just so we could reuse
them and take them to other events and things. So, we're going to have economic development committee on it. >> It won't say business boot camp 2025, right? >> No, because then they're >> it's dated. Yeah. Last time I had my car full of >> I at the expo we gave out a bunch. >> Okay. >> So, it kind of worked out, but still.
>> Swag bags and Vanessa swag bags. The one that have tie wraps. >> No, these are a little bit nicer. Canvas bags. >> I'll show you a picture. >> Um, how much are the swag bags, Matt? >> The invoice was around 1,400. I'll tell you the exact invoice, Matt. And it was 400 more than last year
because we upgraded the bags a little bit, upgraded the notepads, >> and he's including that little NFT tag where you can put your website on. That's going to be included in the swag bag. >> Let me call. >> And then of course, whatever trails cottage, whatever his name is is
>> Yeah. Va Custom Designs. Exactly. Who we used last year and he's local, too. So, and he's part of the chamber. So, it's uh you know, we're supporting in Miami Lake. No, no, we that's that the more we can do within the town businesses, the better it is because you know
>> support local businesses. >> I agree. >> That's the idea. >> Yeah. We can have the boot camp, you know, they can come from whenever, right? >> And you know, and we should I always mention we should get Venture X to
participate in these boot camps because >> 1425 Romney by the way. >> 1425 for the box. Because venture >> hund of them. >> Got it. >> They, you know, they are kind of like a a micro office, you know, for for new entrepreneurs. >> Yeah, it's a great way to like for them,
right? >> But we can ask them to to something. Yep. >> If you guys um That's a good idea. If you guys want to put flyers out there, I can always print them for you. And if you guys want to take them or any business for me, let me know and I can have them ready for you. >> That's a good idea. Okay. >> What kind of printing though? Is it like
on like this like you normally do it? So, so not AC graphic that needs to go in the budget is the the printing because last year we had the printed uh the printed programs and those were really nice. I'd like to do that again. Um do you
remember Matt Mahomeo like how much the printing cost go? >> You guys donated last time. >> That's why the logo was on it, right? >> Yeah, we kind of donated. >> Got it. Okay. Okay. Is AC graphics willing to do that again? >> I would think so. >> You would think so? I don't think so. >> I'm not the end all be all when it comes
to the print on AC. What do you mean? But I would think so. >> What do you mean? Because it's your business. He has nothing to do with it apparently. >> I can take a whole website. >> Okay. >> All right. So, um double check. >> Okay.
>> Okay. So, um All right. So, from the I'm just going to assume a thousand TLAS. We can't expect Carlos to donate everything. So, and and you know, we're expecting a number of people and we wanna we want to feed them and we want to have them have, you know, have some drinks. So, so out of the $2,000
seminar, we've got a thousand going to Chela's uh and we've got 500 going to Vanessa. So, that leaves us with a balance in the seminar budget of $500. >> Robert, didn't we say Vanessa should come out of the marketing?
>> Oh, I'm sorry. >> It could I mean, it really could be either. So, the question for you, Isle, um, for the use of EDC funds for the marketing campaign, like the paid ads and whatnot, is it easier if all of that comes from one line item or does it
matter to you guys if you're taking from two? It's >> fine. >> It's fine. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. Because it it it it relates to the line, >> correct? It won't, >> right? So, I mean, that that's, you know, that's just what I'm looking at. So, I know for sure Carlos had stated at
least 1,500 in the paid ads. That was like his minimum number that he wanted to put into it. Possibly more if we have more, which I think we do >> specifically for a small business. >> Yes. Yes. Or the boot camp. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, then that would have to be the marketing man.
>> Correct. >> Un that's why I'm asking unless you you want to take from here and you want to take from there, which is just annoying. No, I think that's there's no >> So, >> so I kind of like Vanessa being on the seminars then just to kind of separate that a little bit. >> Correct. >> So, >> so let's just say cuz I know if we give
it to Carlos, he'll use it. If we give uh Carlos $2,000 in paid ads, >> number because Carlos is working with your office on the direction of the paid ad campaign, >> but that comes from like the town
Instagram and stuff like kind of how you guys do main street life through the town is that >> I have never been uh been entrusted with that. So I don't know. >> Yeah, the town's >> Okay. Okay, that's what I'm asking. So, I know that they just to let them know that they're going to be uh using 1,500
to do paid ads. Yeah. >> Based on Carlos's suggestions, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But first, let's let's let this rough crunch the numbers. >> Okay. The printing, how much is is the printing is free, >> which um yeah, we're counted that we'll
be uh if not then we're printing. Yeah. In time AC graphics. I'll break I'll break the news. >> Wasn't my idea. I'm totally going to throw you under the bus for that. >> Oh, Matthew said,
>> "Hey, that's a it's my turning book." So in here we've got 153,5425 and we have 5538. >> So we got about $100 left. >> Hold on. Wait a second. We have
>> Vanessa. >> Uhhuh. >> 500. Chillas 1,000. >> Swagbucks 1425. >> That's what it is. A swag bags 1425. print that paid ads uh 1,500 that adds up to 5425.
That's not including any overages in the breakfast. >> Can I make a suggestion? So we have we have in the marketing and the seminar budget, right? We have 3538 in the marketing budget. out of the marketing budget, we allocate the 1425 for the
swag bags. >> And we just round uh the the paid ads out to 2,000. Okay? That that you know that takes our marketing budget from 3538. We round it out 2,000
minus the 1425. That leaves us at a very small balance of 113. >> Perfect. The goal is to mainly >> Exactly. to use the budget, right? So that leaves us out at 113 for let's call it incidentals that may happen on the >> we want to have a little bit of back back the water back water is about
>> $10. Exactly. >> So how many little waters we have? >> So uh so then from the seminar budget we have 2,000 we take out a,000 for Chelis and we take out 500 from Vanessa. That leaves us a balance of 500.
Okay. So, in total, our balance is $613. Worst case, because we always leave this to the last minute on purpose. That's what we've done historically, cuz now the the time has come to get the uh the giveaways. Uh we always do raffles and
whatnot at the happy hour, and those tend to be gift cards from local vendors. So, you know, Ernie Asai will give us a $50 gift card. Diced will give us a $100 gift card, whatever. So, we have to be the ones to go out there and get those inkind donations. We can get a list of the people that have done it
before. But worst case, if we don't get many or we don't get any at all, that's what we've got $613 for is for giveaways for that event. >> Does that work? >> I think that makes sense. >> Yes. >> Just so just to confirm from just just
for minutes. So for the seminars it's Trell's payment at 1,000 and then 500 for Vanessa with 500 remain00. >> Yeah. And then swag bag and then for the marketing it was swag bags of 1425, 1,500 for paid ads in kind AC,000 2,000
for paid ads. >> And then AC graphics in kind and then it leaves us with around 150 left. >> 13 or incidentals. >> Yeah. 113 for water bottles or incidentals. Just a request from you guys because I don't just so we're all really clear on this. You guys meet next
week, right? Or whenever you meet, can you make sure there's a motion put forward for >> I was gonna I was going to motion it here, but yes, we need to do it at the meeting. >> Yeah, we don't have enough to actually do a forum vote or whatever. >> Okay, so you guys are given that this is what you're taking to the right committees are right. >> Let me put this motion. So you'll put
the line item on the agenda, man. >> Yeah, I'm going to put all this that we have here. Like it should be subcommittee review. I'll put on the agenda, something like that. old business and then we'll start off the meeting with hey >> this is what we said >> right this is the budget you know just put a a little schedule and >> um I can I ask that you have a printed
uh agenda and flyer at the next general meeting so we can everyone >> the agenda the agenda and the flyer she's going to send me she's going to send me okay my name hasn't been fixed >> no that's why I'm Okay. It's important.
It's like I fall for my name very very much. >> Listen, that's that's I I relate. I really do. I'm not making fun of you. When I was little, my name was so long that I didn't have enough bubbles on the standardized test. It's fine. >> Oh, and that that lives with you. I understand.
>> I live that reason. I don't have a middle name. No, because No, no, because No, my name is hard to spell. >> Yeah, I know it is. >> And and even and in Puerto Rico even worse. So, >> how did you end up with that last name over there? >> Because it's German immigrants from, you
know, they they came from Germany to Kuruzal and then from Kural they went to Puerto Rico. >> How funny. >> Yeah. in the 1800s, you know, without going too deep in history, Spain was losing all these uh colonies or or you
know to come independence wars. So in Puerto Rico and in Cuba, they passed a law that if you were not Spanish citizen but converted to Catholicism and swore to the Spanish flag, they would allow you to immigrate. And there was a lot of
there was a big immigration of um of Germans uh to Puerto Rico. >> Actually, the first Christmas tree was uh you know it was a doctor of German descent. >> How funny that he came in. >> How funny. I had no idea the history of Puerto Rico,
>> right? Because Christmas developed in Germany, not not >> Yeah. >> How funny. Yeah, that's interesting. A little bit history. That's very cool. >> Okay guys, so I think we are good. We've got this. I've got my reminder about it.
>> And I'm partner, not principal. >> Um, let's move on to item B. Uh, on the new business event Instagram, that's not going to happen. Um, the town said no. So, uh, Isle has gotten a commitment for us to have one of the authorized people to post on the town Instagram to be at
present at the event for at least an hour so that we can get live. Right. Exactly. >> Um, swag bags I think we've covered. Um, are has Trellis Cottage let you know what they're finally going to donate or include or whatever? >> No, I did see her today at the chamber lunch, but >> Yeah, she was there today, Brian. Yeah.
>> Okay. I don't have her information, but if somebody can forward it to me, I can follow up with her on that and when we're going to get that. And did she finally send you her logo aisle? >> Yes. Okay. >> I'll send you her contact. >> Okay. She's the main and um I'm just
seeing if Vanessa put it on the flyer already. She did. She put the logo for college on on the flyer already. Okay, super. Um, so we are good on swag bags. And then last thing I wanted to cover was best of Miami Lakes coordination.
Um, unless we're going to talk about that at the general meeting. I just want to make sure we don't falter on this so that we can make sure and and actually um that's something that I can give because Vanessa needs content ideas so I can make sure that she uh and obviously like oh by the way I also with Vanessa I
had a good conversation with her. She's going to develop a calendar of like posts and suggestions and all that to send to your office to help you guys post beforehand. Okay. um a and we can include in there, you know, best of Miami Lakes content and whatever to kind
of boost both sides since that's going to be a part of the announcements at the boot camp. So, I just wanted to bring it on the agenda today to make sure if there's anything that we need to do in advance of our next general meeting to make sure that this launches on time. >> Is there anything that the the the
winners are going to be announced at the >> finalists the finalists that will be the ultimate winners? So, right now it's open call for nominations, which is what I wanted to make sure that we knew like when is open calls? Has that been announced? Is it open? Not yet. >> We did like a teaser on social media
letting people know that it's um opening soon. Not >> okay. >> But it is not opening until we're following the same calendar I gave you guys, but let me double check. >> The 27th, which is two weeks exactly from today.
>> Okay. So, it opens August 27th. >> Okay. >> We already did a press release on the so the info's already there of all the categories of when it's launching and all that. That's the preliminary information and doctor. >> Do you think you can send me >> the graphics or the press release whatever? >> Um yes >> cuz that way I can do it from the
chamber like an email blast when when it finally happens. We can post it there too. >> Yeah. If you can also send it, send it to Matthew. Send it to me. Send it and yes, Roxanna will post it and also send it to Vanessa >> because that'll be part of her content uh schedule. >> Hey, how are you?
>> Hello. Hello. >> The meeting for the end of the >> Yes, at 6. You're a little early. They're still finishing up. >> Oh, >> okay. >> Uh hold on. Let me not forget. Wait. Send flyers and any
>> Yeah, usually graphics. Yeah, it is >> to all I'm going to just do to all of these. >> Yeah, that works. >> Where? Yeah, cuz the whole goal is for us all to push it out. >> Where's the social media? What's the social media account for the town >> for the town? I think it's town.
>> I'm pretty sure it's town of Instagram. >> Yeah. >> It'sore like that. >> Lots of underscores. Yeah. And the Facebook just town.
I think it's government Facebook. >> Yeah, it has a check mark. That's how you know points. >> Okay, perfect. >> Okay, >> that's all I have. Cool. >> Um, one thing I'll ask of you guys, any invoices? >> Oh, sorry. That was one thing I I had in
my brain to ask. How do we pay Vanessa? I was going to draft her an email, but then I figured I'd just tell you guys. Um, she just needs to make an invoice out to the town. That's really it. Attention EDC. >> Got it. >> Um, so that's easy. And we'll probably need a W9, though. >> A W9 and we'll cut her a check. She'll
get a physical check. Okay. >> Um, if anything looks wrong on the invoice, like I can let her know and I'll have her edit as needed. >> And any other invoices, like if you get one from BB's, he's worked with those before. So, he should know.
>> I have the English ready from VA Custom Design. It's a link. Is that okay? >> Yeah. Yeah. Send it to me. >> Gotcha. >> If again, if there's anything wrong, I'll let you guys know. >> And who's going to contact B to place the order? >> I'm going to call them right as we walk out of your own. >> Correct.
>> George. Yeah. >> More or less. How much money do we want to spend on? Because they're going to be in boxes, >> right? >> That's what Well, we have the 500 bucks, you know. >> No, no. Right. Right. Right. No. How much would it be like
per breakfast, you know? Oh, $10 per per person. 10, you know, 15 20 because >> that is how that is kind of how he prices it. I've talked to him before. That's true. They have like different little packages. >> So, okay. So, if we do I mean, realistically, not everyone eats breakfast. Um, so realistically, if we
have like our goal is to have a hundred. >> Um, >> but that that means $5 per per box. I don't I don't think I I don't think that you know 100 people will have breakfast. Um I do think that a box
option is is not the best option because you should buy a box. >> I don't think a box option is the best option. >> But that but that's what you mentioned. It was in my in my head that you mentioned last year we had chef Veronica and you say hey if they can have boxes that people can just grab the box.
>> No no no we didn't have boxes last year. Last year we had a much larger space which I was hoping we could have this room but they would not let us have this room. Um so uh last year we had a like a whole room allocated to food and it was like a buffet style. >> So people came with their plate and they
would go to stations and they were hot stations. No, no. But chef Chef uh Veronica did a very good job. Um not you know I I I'd like to try something more portable this year. And by portable, you know, I was thinking a bagel or unaika or loca because we don't have the room
in uh in the in in council chambers to lay out the spread that we had last year. Uh and I don't know how much going to put a table outside here, >> right? If we can if we can put a little table in the foyer. I don't know elevator something,
you know, because we're really like we we really don't have >> So basically you have trays trays with bagels. I go see, you know, because because we don't and to do boxed options where you pick up the box and you're forced to eat that, I think is going to be a waste of
money because >> No, no, I don't I don't I don't have a problem with that. I just it was meant I think it was mentioned last time, you know. Oh, maybe we can get, you know, and it stay in my mind. >> Yeah. I I think I mean it it's it would
be nice, but um but I think it's uh it limits our options too much. So, I mean, you know, >> but if it's a hundred or 90, it's going to be $5 per person. Yeah. I I don't think >> I don't think so. But I don't think we have to put it that way because I think,
you know, we phrase it as, hey, listen, we have $500 allocated to breakfast. >> What can that yield us? What can you do with $500? You know, like, right? What can that buy us? You know, how many croissants and how many Cuz I mean, George, we know his menu, right? It's
croissants. It's teenos. It's empanadas. That that's mostly what he offers. Yeah. >> Um, you know, maybe he'll do some like cut fruit. >> Yeah. And he's done little sandwiches. I've seen two before. >> Right. He's done little sandwiches. Uh, I I do think we should put an emphasis on portable. And then also
>> better than a witch first though. Okay. >> And then um, you know, juice and coffee. >> I think if we can focus on that and ask him, you know, what can you do with this? Can you is is this is this a reasonable amount? You know, and see how far that they can take us. And again,
100 is our goal. Last year, we had a turnout of 60 and and normally you almost cut the number in half in terms of how many people actually eat. So, because a lot of people don't just don't have breakfast, >> right? So, >> so really like 50, you know,
>> 50 to 60. >> Yeah. >> Oh, what else can we get the game? try to get it to me before the end of the fiscal year just to make sure we don't run into any issues >> that we could do. >> You can encumber >> including the networking ones because I
know sometimes the restaurants are hard. >> What happened with me? >> Uh the invoices including like the networking ones of the events >> for what? Like before what? >> Make sure before the end of the fiscal year on >> November 3rd. >> The last one is going to be the hard one probably. We'll see early
before the event. Yeah. >> Or the invoice, you know, we don't need to cut the >> Oh, true. Yeah, the invoice. Good point. Okay, that works because we don't have the last uh networking yet. >> Yeah. And then starting next fiscal year, we'll be a lot more on top of it and getting an invoice beforehand. And
it's just that these last few, the reason we're kind of rushed is because we have the budget, so might as well, you know, do it with the >> J. The the point is that you know we need to get something out of it because you know sometimes oh yeah $500 and
then you know once you get to the to the thing you committed the 500 you know well you know let's >> yeah no I agree I agree >> what can we expect for the money >> right to I know this is ridiculous but to buy the to buy the incidentals right the water bottles the whatever um is u
vida including like a writing utensil in the swag bag. >> Yeah, it comes with like a little pen that with the notepad. >> Okay. In terms of you us purchasing those small items that may come up here and there. Uh do we like how do we do that? >> I have a town credit card. Just try to work give me at least a couple of days

If you guys wanted it to face the screens, that's what makes sense, >> right? We wanted we wanted to face the screens, but you know, there's screens
over here and over here. So, >> but there's one that has two screens. >> Okay, >> you'll look at it. >> Yeah, let's go look at it. Yeah, >> perfect. Okay, cool. So, can we go over there now? Is it open? Okay, let's go. And that'll be the last
