Shannon Maloney, Saint Mary's Flipstock representative, made a presentation to the Board of Governance about budget costs from last year's music concert. Maloney requested from the Board support in the form of volunteers or a money contribution.

"We are looking into corporate sponsorship, but we are currently working off a skeleton budget and will expand," Maloney said. "We do not assume how much money any group will give."

Last year, the BOG gave $3,000 towards Flipstock, but organizers want the event to be an all-day music festival with well-known bands, which will cost more money.

"Just because we give money now does not mean we can't give more later," Elizabeth Jablonski-Diehl, student body vice-president, said.

BOG then passed a motion to give $4,500 towards the event without a stipulation as to what the money will go towards.
