Non-Profits
Groups and Krewes, and clubs often don't know
that there's a lot of money that they are
capable of getting away with. We take a look at the TAX CODE to give
you some bright ideas for Tax season. [ Story ]
This affects Main Line groups more than
Krewes, here in New Orleans, but some clubs are or will start,
very soon, to
feel the squeeze for larger fees, as the costs of city services
continue to raise. But it doesn't have to be so! In smaller cities,
the industry can work to minimize the fees. [ Story

Just handing out the prohibited throw list
and putting a lieutenant of the float are just
the first steps to keeping your liability and
insurance costs down. No one wants to be the heavy, but someone has
got to do the dirty job & keep prohibited throws and acts off
the float decks! Don't let a lawsuit catch you by surprise! Your
club may not survive that Throw! [Story] 
You've
got your website up, your payment system online, your store setup.
Build it and they will come! Right!??
