I FOR ONE DO NOT THINK WE ARE GOING TO LOSE MONEY AT THE NATIONAL IN TOPEKA. There was a lot going on, but I remember hearing that the budget showed a projected loss for the national and the club was trying to figure a way to eliminate some costs to make up for it. I also heard that the National lost money last year. I know the board is working hard to find solutions to our finances. In particular Nancy has lots of great ideas for 2013, but has made it clear they are dependant on finances. She is trying to get sponsors. That is how you run a business, or save a club.
