Got this via that thing called E-mail, I changed the names to protect the innocent and left out the names of some to protect them from lawyers and other vermin.
With the All Clubs meeting less than a week away, Captain Happy Pants' remark that he doesn't make any money on this endeavor keeps coming back to mind. So I checked last year's book...if all events that are listed will occur again, 102 (Maine); 60 (NH) single events and 28 (Maine); 21 (NH) for a total of 211 X $49 = $10,339 !!!!!
I'm not a publisher and I have yet to contact on individual that has a 1/4 page ad (out of curiousity) to find out what they paid...that seems like a very unrealistic amount of money to publish it.
Needed to get this in print and to you so you can ruminate about it.
Had to look up ruminate to be sure of its meaning and for those that didn't watch the Beverly Hillbillies as youngsters Jethro did ruminate a bit.
Ruminate: to think carefully and deeply about something
of an animal : to bring up and chew again what has already been chewed and swallowed
After some thought, not much just some, I'm thinking that this is the All Clubs Social and Information Meeting and this event needs our support. THE EVENT NEEDS OUR SUPPORT. Captain Happy Pants is on his own. How he does things is his prerogative.
My opinion goes back a long way. A bus transfer and a train ride are included.

I would say going on those figures, I have no doubt that it's NOT a money maker and probably the 1/4 and 1/2 pages ads cost those folks a small fortune given the stock and the number of pages in the book. Maybe he needs to "beef up" his sales staff a bit and think outside the box as many other establishments have done.
ReplyDeleteI agree, we need to support this event and hope to see many friends and acquaintances there barring the dreaded "s" word :-)
