[Chapter-delegates] Profit and Loss

[b1harlem nyc]

I too wondered where is  the usual parsed  response  to Oliver's very
thoughtful and clear analysis?...Instead of the typical fancy intellectual
explanations?..Yet we are treated to  a missive stating  the answer is for
the chapters to continue along the path of asking the same people and
process (beyond the net) etc.etc who can not see the value proposition that
jolly's service brings towards us all....which we already knew  was
available so that solution is exactly where this started..how's that for
progress?

I wonder how many people are non volunteers of the society and foundation
?how much are the salaries? Who makes the most? Maybe there is someway we
can find what's needed to continue. Services  that benefits  the chapters,
instead of being told what is not feasible by some non volunteer anonymous
staff members...

Would also be interested in how there is 5 million dollars for something
and someone's yet we don't have 63000dollars for a service that benefits
all?  Who decides the budget?..Is the decision surrounding budget voted on
by the chapters?.
