OUTGOING STAFF REPORT

FINAL STAFF REPORT
August 14, 2003

Please find below a tabulation of the festival actual performance 
compared to the budget we presented for the festival. As you will 
see, we had a slightly better turnout which was predictable as we 
budget for a worst case turn out and a slightly better (smaller) 
expenses which is also predictable as we budget for a worst case 
scenario for the expenses. Both combined to increase our net to 
(according to this statement) of over $38,500 net profit. A much 
needed injection of revenues for the IJA.

We budgeted for 410 paying jugglers to attend. We actually had over 
550 jugglers but that included the comps for the volunteers, 
performers, board and etceteras.

We seem to have come very close to our budget thanks to the hard 
efforts of Ginny Rose and her meticulous planning and great support 
team she organizes.
