2022 Hash Cash Historical Assessment

Observations:
- From 2003 until 2019 we averaged 34 pledges of ~ $25 each = or roughly $850/year. Between 2013 & 2017 (the most recent collection periods) we had averaged 45-50 pledges/dues payers.
- Although we have had as many as 80 Summit Hashers over that 7 year period, we now see roughly 60 regular active hashers these days (so ~20 are less involved with SH3 on a frequent basis). Otherwise, in 2022 alone another 56 hashers have attended at least 1 run with us, be it visitors, one off’s or a “long timer no see” hasher.
- Clearly there is a cost to maintain the Website and SH3. At minimum, it is ~$110 per year for the website itself + ~$100 every 3 years for “backup” costs. So then roughly $143/ year (at 2022) just for the website. Rounded to $150/ year, this is our minimum cost sans subsidies.
- Since December 2020 (15 months ago) there is a new Bank requirement to keep a minimum balance of $1,500 in the account, else a $15 charge/month. That then means that a) we have to keep roughly $1,650 in the bank at all times to meet out obligations.
- To give you a general Idea of recent usage – We have subsidized AGM’s and Interhash’s between 2013 and 2019 anywhere from $0 to $1,100 per any event, averaging $400-500 per event (when subsidized). It’s unclear why we subsidized in some cases & yet in others we did not (a choice of the sponsors to cover all costs)?
Finally, as Hash Cash, I presently accept pledge money (of any amount you wish to contribute), preferring to accept cash, checks, or Paypal at this time. I think for the 2023 pledging season, $20 a pledge would work to keep us above board.

To submit any Pledge $, you can do any of the following:
1. Make check payable to “Summit Hash House Harriers” & submit to Hash Cash (Secaucless) the next time you see me.
2. Give $/cash to Hash Cash (Secaucless).
3. Send via PayPal to “hashcash_shhh@verizon.net”. It’s easy to do. Make sure to specify “Friend & Family” so there is no fee deduction.
