The Yearbook

I think this should have been a post and not just a comment so I hope you don't mind Dawn if I move it up top so it doesn't get missed by the rest of us who read regularly. It really is a super accomplishment!

Jen said: That's a well-deserved honour Dawn. How many kids in the school yearbook? I'm just wondering how big a project the year book is. I'm sure it's similar to Mom's foray :} into the Town of Wolseley History book.

And Dawn replied: The yearbook is 116 pages this year. We have 24 color pages, a custom art cover, and I've ordered 840 copies (about 700 personalized copies are sold already). We collected $1800 in ads and have a total budget of about $27,000. There are about 1000 kids at the school so we have a very good buy rate. As chairperson, I dealt with the school, the yearbook company, the photography company, the students and the parent volunteer photographers and page layout people. The pages are all submitted in digital format. Everything is done except for distribution and paying the last bill.
