Subject: [GovTracker] Proposed: Valentine\&#039;s Dinner by amaguire

amaguire (with Social Committee) has created a new proposal: Valentine\&#039;s Dinner

This proposal requests House funds in the amount of $4000 and requires a majority approval.

Special procedural notes:
none

Unofficial Summary:
One of the events that Simmons has held annually is a fancy dinner for Valentine\&#039;s Day.  I propose that we hold this event again, and am requesting $4000 to throw it.  This would likely be the first event put together by the new Social Chair(s), but considering that the first housemeeting for next term will probably be within a week of this event, I thought it was important that they had the funds and approval for this event so planning could begin during IAP.  The $4000 is based on the budget from last year, which is at the bottom of the proposal.  Although we actually spent a few hundred less than the proposed budget last year, I have increased our request to cover any increase in costs that may exist.  Obviously, this allocation would not expire at the end of this semester because it will be used for an event for next semester.
