Capote Manuel - Score: 83.000

My only concerns are the costliness is the "superstar" concept. 

That there be a good balance between serving the needs of the "rural" Nassau County residents with those of the seasonal "tourist" visitors.

Percentage of Outside Fees and Services: Programmatic $221,172 to Total Operating Income: $476, 214 seems  a bit high.

Very detailed application, support materials excellent. Strong partnership support from Amelia Island Tourist Development Council and support letters from community partners document the economic and community impact in the organization's service area.

Schillhammer David - Score: 92.000

Great efforts for outreach in community. You definitely fill a need.  Proposal budget could have included more details - where is funding coming from and where is it going.

You mention lots of in-kind support but only are using $2,000 of it in your budget.  You certainly can claim more.

Stringer Amanda - Score: 92.000

Impressive line-up!

Why the $35K drop in corporate sponsorships and private support? Line 13 and 15.
