I think that "transparency" is happening whether some like it or not! Thank you for your conciseness,clarity and committment to doing what's best for the Club. In the nature of transparency, I got the Board-O-Gram today. It was interesting that the club lost money in 2005, I didn't remember that, but evidently it was true, as they said so, but that we made money last year. I remember Bill saying about $60,000 was a reallocation of the Review monies set aside, and another $60,000.00 from Purina. Since the profit was about $160,000, it is easy to see why the club made money. No matter why, we are in good shape this year. I didn't see anything in the Board-O-Gram about Joan's job, but I was told she is back scouting locations, so all is well. I also didn't see anything about our new attorney or the Hunte matter. There was a line that an application for membership was approved. I have no idea what that was. I assume it wasn't Hunte. Tom does a great job with the Board-O-Gram, and it said it was approved by Lew. So they both get credit for transparency. I get to see through it all. Lew sent me the Board-O-Gram, I suppose everyone else got one. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
