Oh yeah, I completely forgot about Village. Sorry about that. But, altogether we can save nearly $20, 000 just by cutting pay by $1. If we close earlier (like Terrie said, on Friday's, weekends, etc) and cut some hours out of the weekly totals, the savings could go up. I don't have time to figure it out right now, but the number would go up.
