BMDL policy is that every event must stay within its budget.  When you put in
an event bid, you must provide a break-even point (preferably below what site
will hold).  Most people base this on how spread out they can make the site
fee, then the feast is usually ~$5 more.  Very few events ever cost more than
$10 a head, most between $6 and $8.  Any extra money earned goes toward
banking against money-losing events, chirugeon supplies, kitchen supplies,
newsletter supplies (rarely necessary -- great chronicler), etc.  We also bank
to be able to put down several site deposits at once, as we often have events
3-6 weeks apart.
