Hello Adam:
Thank you for your post. We hope to see more of you on RAG.
I have additional understanding of your MACNA 2007 from your post.
1) You want to put on a good event. You are to be commended.
2) You are concerned about costs. As you should be.
3) You don't have a need for RAG to use its web cams to show those unable to attend what is going on.
This is an indication that the minimal cost of RAG's assistance transulates into you not supporting future MACNA's.
Many folks (not able to attend) would see what is going at your MACNA, only if RAG brought its web cameras. Online viewing folks would most likely attend a future MACNA if it was in their area or they had the ability to visit.
Future MACNA events are related to past and present shows, their reputation and ability to support the organization's future efforts.
What leaves me scratching my head and wondering what you guys are thiniking is.... How can you expect RAG (and its well established support for various consumer events) or anyone to pay to support your profitable effort?
Your MACNA 2007 would benefit far more than RAG, regardless what amount, if any RAG would pay you.
You are still hinting for RAG's free online support in the form of promoting your 2007 event via use of threads and posts.
From what has been posted thus far, this is very one sided on your part.
I made a comment earlier that Pro Street was one way. Since Steven is simply one cog in the wheel, it becomes obvious that the MACNA 2007 event coordinators are operating from a One Way Street address.
As business advisor for RAG and a business person I find it unbelievable that 200K +/- will be generated and a low profit would be gained. This is either very poor business practice or mismanagement of funds.
Mismanagement of funds does not mean stealing or cheating. My defination means someone(s) should not be in control of money.
Virtually every post from your camp has been defensive vs. what "civilian" posts indicate as researched information.
Thus suspision has been raised regarding the basic integrity and true intentions of your 2007 MACNA. Especially with your effort to secure a tax shelter to intended profits.
Information posted in this thread will ultimately allow potential attendees to support or boycott your 2007 event.
As always, RAG supports MASNA, MACNA and IMAC and other events that benefit all in our hobby.
RAG will support IMAC 2007 and MACNA 2008.
