My rates also include time necessary to consult with you regarding your needs and the planning of your event.

Fundraisers/Benefit Dances
I am a strong believer in putting back into my community and assisting people and organizations in need. Therefore, for events in which funds are being raised for a specific purpose and/or organization I will make special allowances regarding my rates. Depending on the need I am willing to volunteer time, reduce my rate or work on a commission basis. With the commission basis my rate will be 25% of what your organization collects at the door but the maximum will not exceed my normal rates. Whether or not I will provide my services is strictly dependent on my sole discretion.
