we rent a small building next to a local lake (city bldg) for our christmas party and that takes somewhere from 5-10% of the yearly ward budget. That is the one activity that goes beyond just a potluck in the gym. In this case it's a potluck in a rented building. |

I'm judging by my ward budget that the normal allotment is close to $25 dollars per person per year.
That is why my tithing as a resident was more than the entire ward budget. I was seriously depressed when I found that out. |

I'm not trying to make a generalization. Just my personal experience. I have no idea if I would be friends with you or your family members or not. |

I'm not rich enough to be your friend. That's okay, I'll take your cast offs.

My last year at the U, our ward spent over $17K in the budget category (dated the financial clerk - coerced confessions are a good thing). Turned out to be $52 per capita based on avg. membership of 324.

I'm in the mullah side of this debate on activities and $. I'd rather pinch pennies on activities and send the money where it's needed. |

$17k does seem on the high side to me, but yeah, singles wards get into much higher territory than traditional units.
