Rev. #1 Cost of Seed - per child - survey (ignore earlier po

(1/5) > >>

Anonymous:
In an effort to determine just how much of a goldmine The Seed was to Art Barker, I am trying to ascertain the fee structure over the years.  I believe it started off 30 years ago at about $3,000 per child.  What did the fee end up being, all those years later?  If you all would please reply with the year you were in the Seed and the amount you believed your parents paid. Also, what location were you in, for how long, and approximately how many kids were in that location while you were there.  Thank you.

In '71 it was free, through donations, at least that's what I was lead to believe.
In '75 on my second go-around it was a $1500
donation, you didn't have to give it, you were only strongly urged, And boy did I ever hear about how much it cost from my parants after I got to go home.

DKM84:
anyway, 1st time was Andrews ave., second time was on 84

They charged 1500 per kid at st pete in 73, but actually would take less if you cried poor mouth.
The real money was made Friday nights, when hundreds of parents and observes would put money in the basket and try to outdue each other. $50s and 100s were common according to my father.
The warehouse was donated. Most staff was volunteer(except senior staff). Housing was free or next to it. All food was donated. Air conditioning was non existent.
Where did the money go?  I got a pretty good idea.

DKM84:
greg, airconditioning was very present on 84
upstairs in arts area, the rest of us simply seat or freeze, depending on the time of year.
