Ok, I know the host of a fundraiser only gets to buy the host special and they don't get other benefits. But I thought they would get a host number and be eligible to get the host special off of any shows booked from the fundraiser. I just got the fundraiser shipment in and there was no host number and when I looked up on CC there was also no host number. I'm guessing that I was confused and they won't get to buy the host special at shows booked off of the fundraiser? I'm figuring that HO will be busy until early january so thought I'd ask for help from you all. :confused:
 
That is correct. THE ONLY benefit an organizer of a fundraiser gets is to puchase the current monthly host special. There are no future benefits tied to the show.

I have also sent you an email with some other information.
 
No - they don't have the benefit of the host special at future shows....the benefit of booking is the whoppin $3 for each show booked that goes into the fundraisers total. (one of the many things I'd like to see changed about PC fundraisers!)

Thanks, I'm feeling thankful that I didn't mention the benefits to the hosts so they are not expecting anything extra.

I guess that makes sense. I'd also like to see it change - at least let the chairperson get host specials on shows booked or get the 10% for a year off.
