8. Simple budget ^*

Please submit a (very) simple, proposed budget for your event. This can be a few lines containing the major items you will need to make the event 'go'. Some items to include are: your time, any materials necessary for the event, transport of elders, gear rentals (microphones, PA systems). We do not consider snacks for attendees (unless it is specific to the learning event), marketing materials, items that will be used for other festivals or events (like banners), or venue rentals (The City of Burnaby provides community space).
