Yep, there were two offices in the front of St Pete with AC.
When I said non existent, I meant for all practicle purposes. We all know Art wasn't about the suffer

Is that how much it cost for my incarceration? My parents never talked about it in real terms....only that they were spending money to make me better!!
I guess my father got off cheaper since he was banned from coming to the Open Meetings, because he was too drunk!

Thank you for your responses to date. So far, the concensus seems to be about $1,500 per child in the early 70s, plus all the $50 and $100 dollar bills on Friday nights. Can we say 100 members per Friday night at an average of $75 each for a total of $7500 each Friday night? $7500 times 52 weeks is $390,000 times 10 years is almost $4 million, or $8 million for 20 years -- just coming from the Friday night collections!!
How many of you were there in the Seed at your location at any one time. 50, 100 kids? And how long was the program; i.e., the turnover rate.
Could more people please respond for later years? the late 70s, the 80s, 90s.
My brothers were in during the 70s and believe or not, my mother later billed each brother $3,300 for her cost. So I am thinking the amount per kid was greater than $1500.
Thanks for any / all input.

I am not sure how many kids were with me. I think Greg has a better idea of our time period than I do.
Greg, I want to say 200+ kids, early 70's in St Pete, is that about right? You are sooo much better at the specific memories than I am.
Thanks

There were over 500 kids in June of 73 and it flutuated down to about 350 up to 750. Most of the time, 500 was pretty accurate, and they were graduating kids like crazy. It was a true revolving door.
There was no incentive to keep you like there was in the later straight type programs where they billed your insurance company. So, they got you in, and thankfully, they got us out relatively quick in comparison to the kids that came after us in the spinoff programs like straight, kids, SAFE.
Some of those kids spent years on first and second phase.
