Financial “Attitude” discussion
What is our fiscal attitude? “Just enough to make the bills (& a little extra)”, or should we be trying to make significant amounts of money?
Discussion took place
“Somewhere in the middle”
“We should be in the black & not much more”
“That is one of the reasons we are doing the Education stuff” - paying the instructors with the new proposal
“Quelab IS in the black. We have allocated funds for emergencies & maintenance & what not”
“I like thinking big”
