Example: Mr. Pres. decides to reserve spot A for $500. tells everyone it will be $20 per person to attend. 15 people total show up. do the math=$300. does this mean that Mr. Pres. shells out the other $200. I have been heavily involved with these events for the last 4 years. i can tell you with certainty that this situation has and will come up again. you will always need funds available or somebody is going to get stuck with a big bill. this is one reason why the funds are almost gone, when the cost stays the same for the events but participation drops off you have nothing in the end. putting these things on is not cheap and it takes a lot from those involved, both time and money. I do wish the new Pres. and BOD good luck. I'm just putting this out there for those involved to think about. Totally agree, Jeremy. Most people here will piss and moan about "where did the money go?", which to me, is pretty cheap. I've known all four of the Presidents, (RD, Brock, Randy, and now Paul, let me know if I forgot anyone), and every one of them has impressed me as straight up guys, who wouldn't think of pissing away the group's money. Yet, the conversations always center around needing to know where your damn $10 went to. I'd be pissed if I was one of those guys, and had my honesty called into question.And if you don't want dues, be prepared to keep that begging plate out, and listening to the same old, "How much is it?" and "I'll get right to it, it must have slipped my mind..." AppleSauce that always comes up when it's time to pony up some cash. I don’t think this thread is about where the money went or pissing and moaning; we understand that these events cost money. The reason we only had 48.00 bucks (doing much better now) is as stated by so many, participation has dropped, and therefore cost of the event goes in the minus section. I look at it as, this is where we are, how do we get more participation for these events. Post the cost to member’s only section on the place we select, and if we make it great, if not we can always be a riding group without events. Events are great and I have had some great times at our events, but the real goal is to have a board where rides can be set up and information can be exchanged.

I'm not new, but I'm going to hang in there and do what I can.

If you are then, good, if not then you can still play Cruise Director, I don't know anybody else that could handle that position as well as you. Your the only one, that no matter where we are, you know the direction, mileage, and time it takes to get to another bar. That's why I like being tail gunner when you lead, I know where we're going! Thanks again for your support Gumbo!
