Although we did reduce our donations towards the end of GH's tenure. From reading your post and in keeping with the "house" analogy,I have a couple of questions. 1.You say the Cadets have a "specific budget". Does that mean they have funds on hand,including dues when paid,to cover the tour costs in full or do they know what they intend to spend and hope to cover those costs ? If it is the latter,and funds don't equal the budget,what do they do ? 2.Exactly how are the "front of the house and back of the house" "connected" ? Unless I missed it,I haven't seen anything explaining the current relationship,financial or otherwise , between YEA and The Cadets. After all,if the back and front of the house are connected,and the back collapses,so does the front. 3.I'd also like to know exactly what "cleaning the back of the house means". I'm concerned that the Cadets are just "kicking the can down the road". Get the corps on the road for anther tour,regardless. I wish YEA/The Cadets would be a little more open about their financial situation, especially since we keep getting requests for donations. I would like to know how our donations are being spent. sometimes patience and legalities don't always give the answers we want the second we want them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say I wanted answers the second I wanted them. I just wanted to know they will be forthcoming and in a reasonable time. Based on M.Ryan's response to my post it seems like that will be the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, for the first time in years (maybe ever), the Cadets have a plan and they are not just kicking the can down the road! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
