I think that price is reasonable. I would definitely do both events for them
but they are only an hour away from town. Why would we want to stay there over
night. No one stayed for arcosante and this one ends earlier. Should b same
price for both days and it is 2 events so pas should get 25 for each day.

I would offer them one night for one scope and the other night for a
different scope, each at $260 to give 2 star tours members a chance. We
should use the rotation system. Sam

Before I call back this event inquiry, I need to get some input from my
Telescope Team.
A dude ranch in Wickenburg wants 1 scopes for 2 nights, over a very busy
weekend for PAS in March.
Based on the distance from Phoenix, the pay would be $260 + for a 2 hour
long event per night. Total would be $260 + $260 + $25 for PAS insurance for
the whole event = 545?.
They are offering over night stay and food through the whole event. I believe
they only want one scope to attend, only one person, possibly, for both
nights.
So, i have 2 main questions:
1) Charge them full price as quoted above even though they are offering food
and over night stay.
2) If there are additional hours involved, such as a 3 hour long event, no
additional monies since they are accommodating overnight stay and food.
Sunset on these two nights is 6:32pm and dark is about 7:45pm. I haven't
looked to see what's up those nights. But, since it is our Messier Marathon
night, i'm sure there's some great stuff to show.
Now the next question is:
Who is free to do this event? It sounds like you get there early afternoon on
Mar 9 and leave sometime Mar 11 in the morning when everyone else leaves.
I'll get more details if I have someone who would like to take this event.
The main questions above need to be answered.
From #1 Is this a fair price? Or should we charge less due to the
hospitality? And if we do get asked for a lesser price, what is the minimum
you would do this event? I won't quote lower prices to the lady who called
me. I just want to get an idea of if PAS Is availble and for what price.
And For #2 My feelings, which I usually tell the hiring organizations is,
once we are set up at a location, doing additional hours isn't a prob for a
reduced rate. Since food and
over night accommodations are in the offer, my opinion is to go with the
initial rate and enjoy the nights away from Phoenix. But not all of you think
the same way I do. My scope is set up, for an additional hour for a reduced
additional pay or food and a place to sleep, that sound reasonable to me.
Tell me your thoughts on this offer.
So, i won't call her back until I have some answers from the star tours team.
Please, also let me know if you are interested in doing this event, so i know
if it is worth calling her back with a $$ offer.
It's 62 mile to the dude ranch.
My thought is that they probably do not want you packing up and moving
vehicles within the dude ranch area once the evening festivities have
started, meaning, you are stuck there for the weekend. I don't know this for
sure, but that is why i think they are offering over night accommodations and
food.
I don't know any more than what i included in this email, so until i call her
with an offer on pricing, don't expect answers I do not have, yet.
Have a super day!
