Do you loathe the idea of hiring help?

Help with cleaning, yard work, hosting a party?

I help do the social calendar for a club I am in. I was talking to one of the board members about our christmas party coming up, letting him know I had spoken to the treasurer already, and we have a nice amount to spend this year. The party is hosted by a club member at their house, but the club helps pay for the food. Anyway, the person I was talking to said, “the problem with giving them a lot of money is then they hire someone to help.” My response was, what’s wrong with that? The party is usually over 50 people, having one person to help out for $75 seems like a good idea to me so the host can enjoy the party. His reply was he never pays for help when he can do it himself.

Money is not an issue really in this case. We are giving $1000k for the party. If she doesn’t use it all we kitty it for future events.
