Peckish... we keep our funds in a particular banking institution that we have been with since I joined in 2008. For whatever reason, they are reluctant to investigate moving them. I can understand keeping a "slush fund" so that we never go completely broke, and in truth, I believe that $2000 is more than adequate especially since (in my opinion) paying $300 or more - travel, housing, gas etc) for basically a trunk show, is a LOT of money. I don't mind the expense, if we walk away learning something, but paying for what amounts to a travelling "Pop Up Shop" doesn't seem to me to be a good steward of my guild funds.
