Is $5 per person what they plan to charge for the feast or is it the amount
to be spent on the feast?  You can handle this either way, but the
difference is critical.

You can be fronted money on a cash disbursement authorized by the treasurer
and the seneschal.  After you expend the funds, you present the receipts to
the treasurer to provide an accounting of your expenditures and the
treasurer and the seneschal can issue another disbursement.  That's the way
it works around here.  I'm one of the few people I know who might be able to
front the money for a feast and the only waiting I do for reimbursement is
for the last little batch of stuff purchased just before the feast.

Remember, I'm about 60 miles away and I can help you.
