At the end of the day, we were pretty happy about our Disco and it's success.

Cost of Snacks: 441 RMB Ticket Sales: 60(people) x 30= 1950RMB Food Sales: 641 RMB

Food Sales - Cost of Snacks = 641-441=200 RMB

Profit: 1950+200= 2150 RMB

Because we had a joint team, we split the money. 35% percent went to the other team for Ryan's Well and we received 65%. We split the money according to how much work each group did. The majority of the work was done by us, so it was only fair that we received a higher percentage of the profit.

=Success= Our plan was successful because of the students who came. They were the main reason we were a success that night. We were able to make a large amount of money, more then we expected to earn! We measured our success by the money raised, and how much fun the students had at our disco. It seems like we did good in both areas.

We did run into a glitch after we counted up the money. We were actually missing quite a few snacks and were very upset about this and if were ever to do a fund raiser like this again, we probably wouldn't sell snacks because of these missing items. We bought: 80 cans of pop. We sold it for 3RMB. We should have gotten 240RMB from drinks. 60 bags of chips. We sold it for 5RMB.We should have gotten 300RMB from chips Different types of candy bars. 20 big bars, and 28 small bars. We sold it big bars for 5RMB, small for 3RMB. We should have gotten 100RMB from big bars, and 84RMB from small bars. A teacher donated a bag of about 30 skittles. We sold it for 3RMB each.We should have gotten 90RMB from skittles. Minus the amount we paid for the snacks, which was 441RMB, we should have raised 283RMB from snacks alone. Our group thinks that someone took the snacks after we left. Between the time after the dance and the Monday morning, but since we have no evidence, we cannot point the blame onto anybody but ourselves.

=Changes= Our groups weren't very prepared to have this dance. I actually found the other groups members kind of uncooperative at times and unwilling to help with a lot of the preparation beforehand. When we had asked them to ask a few teachers if they would be willing to supervise the disco, the refused and said that it was our job not theres, but it was not true, that task was meant for the both of us. Even if it was 'our job' when a teammate asks for help, they should have given their time. But luckily we got it together in time and were able to throw a great disco. If our group were to do this again, we would give ourselves more time, and make a more orderly checklist of what had to be done, along with some deadlines. We would have some experience and it wouldn't be **as** hard. We would give ourselves even more time in advance, maybe 2-3months. We actually only had about a month to plan it in total, because of all Winter Holiday. Instead of only having one checklist to pass among us, we would make more copies and highlight the jobs that each person was responsible of. Also, we would put deadlines on each task. Then after 2-3 days, we should have gotten together to see what each of us were doing, and if the tasks were actually completed so we could move on to the next step We left the snacks in the room, and some of them "disappeared." Either we can't trust the students, because the room was left open on the following Monday, or we can't trust the staff of BCIS. We are not pointing any blame at them or accusing them of stealing snacks, it's just where our suspicions lie. If there was a next time we would either not buy snacks or take the snacks home with us, to ensure that none would go missing.
