Sunday #3

The first of many extra costs. We all knew that there would be extra costs for the Community Centre project and here is one of the first. A request from the Fundraising Committee (FRC) for $298,000. Click on the image for a full size printout.
An observation, when the committees were setup and staffed with volunteers most of us thought these good volunteering folk were donating a whack of their time for the common good. This committee stacked with local fundraisers has obviously found the job to be too much for volunteers and like all good professionals have found a way to delegate the job, but it comes with a pricetag. Now we can only hope that FRC becomes a mighty fine watchdog now they have offloaded the heavy lifting?

It seems to me that $175K could be cut from this balance sheet right away. What in the world would they need those extra Comm fees for if they're proposing hiring a Comm consultant anyway? And what sort of Comm consultant would they actually get for $33K, unless that's a half- or quarter-time gig only? Seems a bit out of whack to me.

I wait to see how many of said positions of employment are filled with an accompanying stink of nepotism. Spouses, children, neices, nephews, children of families someone has been going on annual vacations with for years ...

Let your light shine on the deeds and the misdeeds of those who are supposed to be working for the common good.
