Amanda, thanks for putting into words what I was trying to say: this isn't for everyone. As an example we tried that "pizza kit" idea. Luckily the costs were absorbed into the fact that I printed advertisements from the school's printers. However, if we had printed it with out own paper, we would have just about broke even - we printed a ream of paper - that's about $5. We sold one kit (to a group of team members I might add) for a total donation of $5 from Dominoes. It's a great idea, don't get me wrong - but we had bad luck and 1020 will probably never do that again (don't let that discourage you from trying it!). I just wanted to emphasize the fact that I realize this isn't for every team.

Yes, the projection for the returns look a little grim. I admit I'm hoping that the cost could be averted somehow. However, I still think it's feasible for teams to do this. Every team works a little differently and this should work for some of them.
