(please read ENTIRE e-mail) All my family visitors for the week have once again left us with an empty nest. :-( I took time this morning to compute the finances for the Gathering. This years Gathering was disappointing in attendance with only 50 at the awards banquet and 5 KR's flying in. Weather had much to do with the poor attendance as well as a lot of schedule conflicts for regular attendees. I think those that were able to attend enjoyed their stay in Mt.Vernon. We were able to hold 6+ hours of forums and share a lot of KR info. Unfortunately, we didn't get to do much flying.
The small crowd at the banquet was generous in donating $317 toward expenses. THANK YOU ! Banquet ticket sales totaled $705. Hat and shirt sales plus some additional donations totaled $1757. That left us coming up short approximately $700 over our starting figure. Not too bad for the low attendance. I still have 15 shirts and 24 hats I can sell, which, if all sell, would leave us only a couple hundred short of our starting point. I will start mailing hats and shirts next week to those that have already ordered and paid. I will start taking orders on the leftovers as of today. I have the following sizes: 11 each size "large" 2 each size "extra large" 2 each size "medium" 24 hats Shirts are $25 Hats are $12 Shipping on each order is $8.50 in the USA. That's an average and pretty much covers all orders. Trying to keep it simple. I will fill orders in the order of the time stamp on your e-mail until all are sold. Checks or money orders only, no pay-pal. Wait to mail check until I tell you your shirt / hat is in the mail. When ordering, give me the shirt size and complete mailing address. I'll give you the address to mail the check when I fill the order.
