[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 639537, member: 6734"] Hey all... Want to throw something out there...with regard to having a "speaker".. Jogeephus proposed a Card draw. I've done this before but here's how it works You take a deck of cards. The cards can be bought for a certain amount (say $5)...you can buy as many as you want to increase your odds. (and your're not obligated to buy ANY if thats your choice). At the end, (from an identical deck of cards) one card is drawn. 1/2 the money goes to the "speaker" and 1/2 the money goes to the person with the matching card. If you have more than 52 people buying cards, you then have a blue deck and a red deck....the winning person is called out "[u]Blue[/u] Queen of Diamonds" What do you think about this? The whole idea is that we have a reason to write off the expense as a "deductible business expense". Do we have any CPA's out there? I would think that in order to be able to write off our gas/airfare, etc. we have to show that we actually attended a seminar of some sort...anybody got any suggestions? For instance, when we attended the NAILE we wrote off our gas, hotel, etc. BUT our National Show was held there which justified the expense. How can we make this gathering JUSTIFY the expense?
