James:
We did not include the cherry blossom event because it was nto clear as to what kind of expenditure or program you envisioned. If you really want this event please feel free to edit the above budget in any way.
For main events (Founders and Embassy) we are still working on a detailed breakdown. As you know SBA will only give us food money so that’s all we are asking for.
