Thanks and that does answer my question. On Monday the 21st I am gong to my regular Writers Club meeting. We just had our conference and the attendance was mind boggling, many speakers, agents and publishers and authorsattended. I received an email days afterwards from our Vice Pres. stating that the Conference put her and our President in the hole to the tune of $5000. to $7000. they are asking for ideas of ways we as a group can try to help recoup this money. I for one want to know WHY we came out in such poor shape? This is my first conference and I thought maybe I was wrong and all of them ended in such a mess financially....Should be an interesting meeting. [Roll Eyes]
