Estimated Financial Expectations
Sectional Championships 2005 (Summer)
Below is an estimated summary of all expenses involved in the Sectional Meet
Note that all calculations are estimates based on 15 swimmers attending.
The chaperones will make every effort to keep cost down (coupons etc)
to make the trip as affordable as possible.  If you have any cost saving ideas
or connections which would allow us to save money on this trip, please contact 
the chaperones as soon as possible.
Note: the cost of the summer meet is slightly higher than for the spring, as the
meet is one day longer (i.e. extra hotel, food, etc).  This will give the swimmers a
chance for a fun day at the end of the meet (Mall of America, etc).
