Other than Nadine blowing the windows out of the office area when she got the bill, I know nothing more other than the price was reduced to a figure they agreed on. Not sure what the final figure was but a lot less than the original bill they got, but still more than was in the contract.............It was approved by the Show Chair and President, and the check was co-signed by the President.

Isn't that what contracts are for this is the amount period,. How can $40,000 outside the contract happen and then we pay it, that is a lot of money that was not expected. Why didn't we fight this? Did we? What was the $40,000 for???? Have you asked the show chair? He should have the answers Molly ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
