I second the motion (so to speak) to retain the funds. Gregg "What's His Name" and I did some gopher'ing after everyone got to Joe Z's and I saw a few folks pull funds out of there pocket to cover things like extra beer, soft drinks and ice. So, it would be nice to hold onto these funds to cover unexpected expenses that tend to pop up at these events.
Besides, we might actually have to buy condiments for the sandwiches next year!
(Sorry Gregg, couldn't resist. Beside I was the poor guy handing them out and getting dirty looks.)

PS: JoeZ, don't get too fond of those red Rubbermaid buckets of mine!
