The Jazzy Slush Fund (JSF) is what makes our time at the Jazzy Cabin possible without a designated sugar daddy/mama. We all pay an amount in advance based on prior year expenses, and that cash is used to book our cabin, get to the cabin, buy food…

We manage the JSF through a joint bank account at Ally Bank. The idea is that we collect an estimated amount from each participant in advance, and then pay for trip expenses from this bank account. This should be more efficient than trying to reconcile receipts from many payers after Jazzy, and then collecting from everybody (months down the road).

What EXACTLY is JSF used for?

You want the list? Here’s the list:

• Cabin
• Rental cars (depending on the year)
• Gas (depending on the year)
• Food & booze
• Any activities attended by all

What ISN’T covered by the JSF?

• Airfare to/from Jazzy
• Ski rental and other Leaver expenses

What happens if we spend more money than we planned? Or less?

Rest assured that there will be a thorough accounting of all expenses within 3-6 months post-Jazzy (not guaranteed, but it will happen eventually). If it turns out we spent more than expected, one of the Jazzy treasurers will contact everyone with an additional amount-owed. At that time, you’ll also be able to prepay (fully refundable) for next year’s Jazzy, if you so choose.

If we spent LESS than expected, you’ll be refunded the difference. You’ll also have the option to transfer your refund to the Jazzy Collective, and we’ll add it to the Jazzy Slush Fund high-interest savings account. If we ever have a significant balance in that account, we’ll decide together what to use it for.
