Did you see the reports to ascertain if they need to be in greater depth? Do you believe a CPA does not know how to do proper financial reporting? How can you access about anyone making correct decisions to go forward when probably have not seen the reports? Is it possible some of the board members cannot decipher the reports they received? You have said you are you have no animosity......then do you not believe you are in a position to question when you have not reviewed all information? Has anyone directly asked the show chair why the expenses went so high at the last national? He would probably be the best person to explain. There are many asking questions in the wrong direction and I cannot help but feel it is to shed a poor light and some of those people working darn hard for this club. Send messages to those that have the answers. If you need their email addresses, I am sure someone will have them. In a message dated 8/16/2010 11:45:48 A.M.

Perhaps these were never requested but are necessary to make correct decisions going forward.
