- I think I probably overwhelmed you enough yesterday with everything I taught you in Excel so I am not going to go over anything else today.
- Please make sure you have your BRAINSTORM complete so that you have everything decided before going any further with this project. Remember, you have to stay within a $500 ($1000 if doing a charity fundraiser) budget for your party. I want you all to realize that money doesn't grow on trees so we need to make this a realistic party. That is why I am setting your budget at $500. :)

- Let me know if you have any questions! I'm always here to help!
