That's actually very reasonable (indeed, inexpensive) for a fundraiser in this area... After all, the point is to Actually Raise Money. The organization should have a good profit, and the volunteers should all feel their hard work has been valued and reasonably repaid. (In the SCA, the Cause seems to be everyone's individual wallets. Which itself can be a Good Thing - I've certainly had a tight budget all along, and appreciate inexpensive feasts - but we tend to forget how that happens.)

I wish I could be there - just to be with you and Brighid in the same room again! Aside from other issues, though, I'll probably still be in some version of Family Moving/Medical Hell...
