KR> Gathering finances
I'm finally getting my life back in order after two four day weekends in a row and being ill between the two. This morning I did the first roll out on the Gathering finances. I was pleasantly surprised to find we came out reasonably well in spite of the low attendance. I seem to be "Excel" challenged so I'll have John post the report to the Gathering web page in the next few days. Hopefully he won't find any major errors. Beginning balance $4430.00 Ending Balance $4188.48 I still have two small mailing amounts to deduct so the total will change slightly. I also have several hats / shirts for sale and that could up the total slightly. Thanks to all that contributed over and above the required amounts to help keep us in a good financial status. I'll post a list of hats /shirts for sale in the next few days. Larry Flesner ___ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.

Nettlers and Gathering attendees, I was concerned that with the bad weather and lower turnout this year we'd be a bit short on the finances. Good news! With the help of two generous donations, one corporate and one anonymous , and the generosity of the banquet attendees, it was a break even year. Starting balance was $4330 and ending balance is $4375. I haven't double checked any of my entries or math but I'm confident it is close. I'll send a complete report to John for posting in the next few days to show all income and expense. Thanks to all that helped make this year a financial success. Larry Flesner

KR> Gathering finances final report
I have just e-mailed the final financial report for the 2012 Gathering to Bob Lee for posting to the www.krgathering.org site. Give Bob a couple days to get it uploaded. Final number is $5219.12, up very slightly over last year. That is a very sufficient amount if we can hold it there from year to year. Thanks to all that made it possible to increase the fund from year to year to relieve the host from any financial burdens. I just mailed the last hat / shirt orders this week. I have two shirts left that will go to the first person(s) that respond. They are size 3XL. $8.50 shipping (USA) for each shirt or same if both go to the same address. I'm guessing I won't hear from Langford on this one. :-) I hope to get with Chris Collins soon and start the process of setting next years Gathering date. September / October is a very busy time at Mt.Vernon. E-mail me ( OFF NET ONLY at fles...@frontier.com ) with your preference of two dates in the September / October time frame. I'll do a tally and check that against dates available. If you simply hit reply to this e-mail and clutter the net with traffic I will most likely use the "one button" solution of "delete". Thanks to all. Thanks to all and a blessed Merry Christmas to all.. Larry

Things are pretty much rapped up from the Gathering and I've been meaning to post a report. I've just not gotten around to it yet. I will forward this years financial report to Bob Lee to post on the web for your review. Bottom line indicates that, while attendance was down a bit this year, financially it was a break even event. The dollar amount in the KR fund actually increased by about $55. A special thanks to all those that contributed over and above the hat and shirt sales. It has been the additional donations, both at the awards banquet and off line, that have helped us get to the point over the past six years so the host has no out of pocket advance money to plan the event. I, like everyone else, buy my own meals, shirt and hat, transportation, etc. I've always considered hosting the Gathering to be totally voluntary and not expected the attendees to pay my way. That is as it should be for an event like the Gathering. That brings me to my final point. Several have suggested that the Gathering fund is getting large enough, $4,800, that we might ought to think about having a treasurer or at least have two people signing checks. Personally, I do not have a problem with forwarding the funds to Dana for next year but this is not my money, it's your money. Those that have attended past Gatherings have invested in future Gathering and I'd at least like to get some feedback. Keep it off net if you would and I'll report back with number of e-mails and opinions received. E-mail me direct at fles...@verizon.net I'm already looking forward to the 2010 Gathering. Fly or drive, it will be my 21st consecutive Gathering. Y H Larry Flesner
KR> Gathering finances update
Here is a quick update on the 2006 Gathering finances. I've spent several hours counting cash and going over the numbers this morning and I think these figures are correct. I will be forwarding the info to Bob Lee so he can update the Gathering web page. These are not the final totals as I have a few un-cashed checks for some shirts to mail as well as having approx 18 shirts left that I will make available in the next few day. Several of you have indicated you want another shirt and I will prioritize your request. Give me some time to catch up on the details.

> > >Beginning Balance 3575.26 > >Current Balance 3957.28* >*We may have several hundred dollars in additional >hat and shirt sales. +++ When I went to make the bank deposit I was off by $80. They counted it three times and I brought the whole thing home and counted it again. Sure enough, I was in error. Sorry about that. The new (corrected) balance is $3877.28 I guess that's what happens when you use both fingers and toes to count and don't take off your socks. :-) It also crossed my mind that I need to correct some line items. We had 92 meals at the banquet but four were "guest", Jeanette and Susan, and the county board chairman and wife. The totals will remain the same but I'll adjust the amounts in the banquet tickets and hats / shirts entries. I should have the info to Bob Lee for posting to the Gathering site in the next few days.

You just have to sneak off while she is not looking ! : ) Tell her you had to fly to another town for supplies for the house ! hee hee Lots easier to get forgiveness than permission !

Same here. I have not even mentioned flying. I just come home every night and go straight to work on something. I did start to check on readjusting the aerocarb for winter temps and discovered that the retaining nut that backs up the needle had come out and that explains the constant fiddling that I had to do with the carb mixture over the weekend I may sneak up to my Dad's Sunday morning to buy his birthday breakfast Joe Horton, Coopersburg, PA. joe.kr2s.buil...@juno.com > > My wife is the one that's aggravated.

KR> Gathering finances
I've managed to sort through the finances for the 2005 Gathering this morning and the indications are as follows: We should end with a balance in the Gathering fund of approx $3375. We started this years Gathering with a balance of approx $3000. This will be adjusted by a couple hundred dollars yet as I pay the last small bill on shirts and then receive payment on additional shirt sales. I hope this "ballpark" figure is correct as I ran out of coffee before finishing the count. :-) The final results , in detail, will be available on the web page in the next week or so. Feel free to e-mail me any questions you have at that time. Thanks again to everyone that helped out. Larry Flesner 2005 Gathering Host
