Role: Cookies Anonymous
************************* Keep this information confidential **************************
You play the role of a club leader for a student organization called “Cookies Anonymous.” This
organization, which was founded last year, has one mission: spread the joy of eating a variety of quality
cookies and admiring intricate details put into specialty cookies. Your particular role in “Cookies
Anonymous” is securing funding for current and future events, which range from hosting guest bakers to
cookie tastings. Since the organization is still growing, you also try to help in other areas as much as you
can, but right now you don’t have much to offer except that your family friend Anna-Patricia Flower is
an up-and-coming pastry chef.
You’ve just attended a yearly funding request meeting, which did not go as well as you’d like.
Rather than the usual $1,000 you get per year, you’re getting $500 and must share $800 between
yourself and another, more established, student organization called “Cake Escape,” which is a cake
enthusiast organization.
Here is an overview of your planned events:




Cookie Bake-Off sessions: Most of the cost is in ingredients and equipment
$200
Student Org Marketing: Promotional materials to spread the word around campus (flyers and
postcards - high cost due to low volume printing)
$100
Specialty Cookie Series: Tastings of premium cookies from around the globe
$200
The Annual Cookie Gala - Guest baker Flowers: Inviting Anna-Patricia to come speak and
provide tips and techniques for baking the best cookies. She plans to be in town to visit her
parents, so there’s no cost to you.
$0
The Annual Cookie Gala - Rental Space: There’s only one conference center, and you take up
very little space
$400
The Annual Cookie Gala - Staff: You require staff for only a portion of the event
$100
You are meeting with one of the student leaders of “Cake Escape” and discussing how the
