Ann, sorry for the delayed response but I am just catching up on mail.  

As easy as it would be for me to say just keep the national in Lexington I am 
not able with the information I have.   At the last board meeting we were told 
the club has lost significant money but not how much.   We were told the  
Topeka site was so much cheaper, but not how much, and that they were 
practically paying us to go there.   Later we were told that the rates were 
dependent on us returning to the site at a future date but still not how much.  
 If the Club is in financial distress and the Topeka site would bring in 
significantly more funds then the members need to know this and I am sure most 
would be willing to sacrifice and go to the new location.   The problem is we 
do not know the financial situation of the Club.   At the meeting there were no 
financial reports available, no check register reports, no monthly statements, 
no running balance of funds, no accounting of any kind.   What was presented 
were questions with no answers.   Do we have a credit card, is it a credit or 
debit card, who is in possession of the card.   Who is authorized to sign 
checks, do we need two signatures, who has signed in the past.   No corporation 
can function properly without financial information and in this digital age 
this information is available almost instantly and yet we are taking years to 
get audits done.   There is no way Board Members can make the right decisions 
for the club without the proper financial information and this information is 
simply not available.
We as a club must insist that the arguments about the Club's finances end and 
that a true and accurate accounting be available to every Board Member at every 
meeting.   These reports must include a current check register report, a 
running balance of funds and a comparison of money spent to the projected 
budget.   Any quality accounting program can produce these reports within 
minutes and there should be no reason not to have them at the meetings.
To answer your question, if the Club could afford to keep the show in Lexington 
I would be in favor of this site.

Joe Beccia
