2. Budget-Determine anticipated cost and cost per individual.

3. Logistics-See what to be provided. Arrange proper transportation for all. Find out what kitchen equipment and supplies will be available. If eating in a restaurant, make reservations and order banquet style you may get at a special rate. Then make necessary sleeping arrangements.
