What the Flaming Lotus Girls do every year because our costs exceed our bank account is ask people to hold off on receipts or others to put things on low- or no-interest credit cards until such a time as we can hold a fundraiser and get the money together.<br>
<br>However, the FLG has a lot better chance of making the money back at a fundraiser than we do.� We have a huge fan base who likes to come out and make donations.� We're also not afraid to make money from alcohol sales, which is the bulk of the income for these things.� (As a reference, we netted about $3K after all expenses from that last $0 entry fund raiser that many of you attended.)<br>
<br>Of course, we could also go for a traditional bank loan to get all this done.� That would indeed be safest.<br><br>Christie<br clear="all">--- <br>Pigs can fly given sufficient thrust. <br> � � - RFC 1925<br>
