Even though I think I'm suffering from early onset of "olfartism" (it affects the memory) I've still got an active cell or two.
After the recent discussions regarding the missing dollars and apparent reasons for the confusion, I looked a ways back and have more questions than ever now.
For those of you that attended the annual meeting at the summer show and recieved a treasurers report, the No. 3 toy is shown as THE ONLY ITEM IN THE REPORT THAT MADE ANY MONEY. Every other venue lost money, including memberships.
Checking back even further, in the spring of 2004 over 700 toys had been sold, sales were good, but the problem of broken units had come up. The club would NOT have to pay for the damaged units. At that time the sales of the units sold had not only paid off the purchase cost, but the club was ahead somewhere around $10,000.00-$12,000.00 towards paying off the restoration costs.
So, what I would like to know is, how did we lose $20,000.00 selling the last 50 or so toys and do it in the last 6 or 7 months?
