Re: [AGA-sc] Saturday Seminars

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

I really like the idea.  I'd like to go one step farther, and although I'd 
like to see them return our costs, if they can, I don't even see the need of 
us asking them for 25% of the proceeds.  We're doing fine financially, and 
the idea is to promote the hobby and increase member base, right?
