Maybe the difference can be kicked back with a certian amount of work at the 
event? Each organizer of an activity could have vouchers that the person 
could take to the treasurer...who would then have to cut them a 
check...since we cannot pay for anything directly out of gate recipts...a 
little complicated...but maybe....?

The trouble is that people treat it like that...that they pay their fee so 
they have no obligation to help...It is a malady of the overall (American) 
society that the extent of obligation is to throw money at it...

no one could pay me enough for the lengths i have gone to to work for this 
"game", some service is coerced...but most comes from the heart and that is 
priceless...
