Hi Kathy,
Please keep me informed of the CCLC meetings since I'm very likely to be able to attend at this time of year.
You are correct, Farmers paid $460 for a small space and $575 for a large space. The only reason why Farmers
should pay less than crafts people, is that they probably need a lot of space and a direct correlation on a per-foot
basis would become prohibitive to some growers. I suggest that we have "quantity discounts" for large space
users to encourage the sorts of displays that add so much to the feel of the market. I would like to see dues
capped under $1000 for even the largest space users. This would be a considerable increase of revenue from the
farmers and should be doable. I like Bill Dinsmoor's comment that we don't collect money just because we can,
but only because we need it.
By the way, we do bring ladders to the market and they are used to access the power. I have not yet done the
power use survey as asked by the CCLC, but I will soon.
I'm also pressuring Maggie to come up with a real accounting, no luck yet. I will be able to talk much more
intelligently about the budget if we have some real figures from last year. I would be willing to enter raw data into
Quick Books if I had some (say from Maggie's receipts and check stubs and bank statements.)
2'X7' should work for banners, I've never noticed a compliance officer anyway. You seem to be able to get things
done.
As to Job Description, generally great, maybe a few tweaks:
1. Farmers haven't had a mandatory meeting yet. They're not real good with mandatory, we have a well attended
spring meeting that should suffice.
2. We send our own rejection and acceptance letters, it's the worst job in the organization, but how else can the
concerns of the farmers be relayed? It is our recognized right to accept and reject new members. If you were to
specify that these first two points relate to crafts only I think it would cover it.
23. No electricity for vendors? I know we've had problems, but it doesn't seem that it came to this.
Could we specify that books are to be kept on Quick Books?
Generally it seems like a very thorough description and I think it is well done.
Sorry for the slow response, I'll probably be able to do better now. Peter

Mailing list from Chamber Resort, Debbie, 920-7141.

with the newspaper. Need to advertise music and Chef each week. (3)

coordinate all music for a fee of 10% of the total music budget. He might also

Web site: aspensaturdaymarket.com, is in need of someone to volunteer or
exchange some booth fee for their time, to make small updates to the site.
Mainly adding the new vendors and the new application. Very simple, on
front page software. I'm sure a new vendor could do this for you.
