rpbobcat Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I vote that they use some of the money to work with Fathom to put on a BLL in Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 $ 4.7 mil ? Good. Spend it wisely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 While the grant may not be to cover keeping DCI Employees employed, the money from this would free up other money to make sure people are working. That's a good thing. I think the best question may be, how will the money be spent? I can think of a lot of great ways this money could be spent. My general thoughts are that if the money is spent developing young people from all walks of life and advancing performance arts, I'd be fine with it. Jim, I have no pithy comments here. I have to wait for the right subject to have one. 🍺 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I could think this would be a negative is if they use the money to get personal company Lamborghini Aventadors upholstered with beige Cinghiale Wild Boar hides (I kid you not, seen a Miura with the wild boar hides, very nifty) or some other ridiculous misuse.

rpbobcat Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 From reading DCI's announcement, this grant will "assist in compensating . . ." . If I'm reading that correctly, the grant is to address losses for 2020 do due to no ticket sales. Apparently, the $4.7 M isn't enough to wipe out DCI's debt and get them "into the black". So the question is, just how much "red ink" is DCI still carrying ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or some grumpy nut bag (me) will think of a way DCI could screw the pooch (astronaut term) with the windfall. Again seeing where the money is earmarked to go will tell a lot. and best word to describe me in cases like this….. cynic Edited June 24, 2021 by JimF-LowBari 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
