I've got a 9-to-5 for that. One of the main reasons I'm doing this is to stay involved with my stepdaughter's activities. She could very easily get into big-time trouble w/o constructive activities like this. Some of the coaches are volunteers because they know the value of organized high school sports. The meet officials are all volunteers (the parents, like me). The families pay zero out-of-pocket expenses; team costs are covered with fund-raising activities. I don't mind contributing to my stepdaughter's future. FWIW, her biological father has been out of the picture since she was 3 yrs old; I'm the only one she has. I'm not giving the negs to anyone at any time. The head coach scans the machine prints he wants then gives 'em back. I just want to charge something like market rates for prints ordered by the parents so that 1) I'm not cheating myself and 2) I don't cheapen the market. I've got a regular desk job as a mechanical engineer that pays the bills (mostly) and I am CLUELESS as to what I should charge so that I don't cheapen the market. Nobody has ordered anything yet but I want to be prepared in case the issue comes up. Let's try this again. Can someone help me with this? Doug Herr Sacramento
