Student Council [Friday, Lunchtime]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe looked like she was in a rather good mood as everyone took their pizza and got settled in today. "As far as I know, everyone survived Parents Weekend, and the events all came together very nicely, so you should all be very proud of yourselves," she said. "I know you're probably focused on fall break right now, but first, we have to talk about Homecoming. Our next meeting will be at the beginning of Homecoming Weekend, so we've got to get all our plans in order now. Then, we can focus on the vacation ahead of us." At least, that's what she planned to do.

"I hadn't thought about that," Petra admitted. "On the one hand, if we don't, people with more money have an advantage, but on the other, if we keep it to stuff we supply, that limits people's creativity...I don't know."

"Maybe we could talk to the shop in town and see if they could give students a discount on this provided we, I don't know, talk about how wonderful they are and let them hand out most of the prizes?"

"Great idea. I bet Mary would go for a free meal or a free night at the hotel as one of the prizes, and I know we have extra decorations," Quinn volunteered. "It gets kind of quiet there when there's not an alumni event or a convention."

"Well, yeah," Petra said, "like I said, I was planning to see about getting gift certificates to use as prizes. It's a great way to promote interest in local business, you know, the usual pitch to the business owners. But I don't think most of the places in town really do decorating supplies, except the convenience store maybe. Or at least, I was thinking like pizza and coffee for prizes? If the hotel's got some streamers or whatever they want to throw our way that would be great, though," she added, looking over at Quinn.

"Maybe if we just put a budget cap on it, that'll solve the problem?" she suggested. "Like, I don't know, what's a reasonable cap? A hundred bucks? Higher? Lower? But then we'd have to enforce it. I don't know."

Rilla still got stymied by concepts like "a hundred years of inflation."

"A hundred dollars?"

"As a cap," Petra said. "...oh you're from the past, aren't you? It's not really a ton of cash now. But like I said, then we'd have to enforce it and it just makes things too complicated, I mean, what, do we demand to see the receipts before we judge? No. So, forget I said anything about a cap."
