I'm right here bitches! 
After the elections i provide ALL my contact information to the new officers. Use it... call/text/email/knock on my door (i dont usually shoot first)
I'm glad to read that you realize it takes money to make money. I feel that some of the previous requests to "open the books" were to see if we had enough money to cover the event AND have enough money left over to still raise funds and cover basic costs. Also, answers like "we have just enough to cover X" doesnt answer the question of "how much money is in the bank?" just remember that. Alumni can be very generous people.
Tents, banners, tools, etc... Come up with a plan. Tell us what the club can cover, what the costs look like, how you want to raise funds, and IF you would like donations. Dont look for handouts without some sort of leg work.
Also, the dues have gone up but the perks have dwindled. $20 used to get every member a shirt and a sticker. $40 doesnt get you jack shit now. We may or may not be in the situation to correct that issue this year but its something I would like to see return. If you have any ideas on how to get that back on track i'd love to hear it.
selling food at events can be a little weird. sort of like aramark at JMU, VIR and other tracks might have an issue. What other ideas do you have to promote MM at the track or events... not just bringing students, but promoting the club to the masses (from a financial aspect).
