I've run the numbers and here's the situation:

The expenses for this workshop are going to be over $3500. Right now, I'm going to be $1600 down if I go through the workshop. I'm assuming I can make up around $300 with the show (which also worries me as we only have four performers), but that still leaves a deficit of $1300. I know a couple of you have said there are one or two people considering coming.

If those people come, and Paulette is willing to come out here herself (which would reduce costs by about $400...and I haven't checked with her about this), I would still need an additional 4 people to register.

So what it amounts to is that unless I have confirmation that six more people are coming *for sure*, I'm going to have to cancel the event. I'm willing to take a hit, but $900 is just more than I can afford.

I have to make a decision by Sunday, so if some people are sitting on the fence, please let me know today or tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll have to cancel the event.

I'm really sorry.
