Noble Cousin!

Greetings from Solveig! I believe that your FEB 10 deadline is overly  
generous.
I think that a FEB 1 deadline is more appropriate. Also, the Society  
is a 501c3
organization. Such organizations can get into trouble for supporting  
for profit
entities which are selling goods or services not related to the  
stated objectives
of the organization. Effectively subsidizing for profit entities has  
even more
potential for getting the Society into trouble. This means that you  
should not be
taking a loss on merchant spaces and most especially on merchant spaces
which can not demonstrate a direct relationship to the objectives of  
the Society.
Unless you are willing to discriminate between merchants, which I  
doubt is the
case, then you really should be charging all of the merchants $10.00  
as this
rather obviously reflects your true cost.

Your Humble Servant
