I was always taught to believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.

Yes Andrew, that should be the way to go but too bad not very many people do that, especially the latter. Too many people believe perception as fact...

There has been a complete turnaround here on MAAST the past few months and I believe we can give a BIG Thank You to the new BOD for this positive change.

Has MASST been informed by any sponsor that they will not renew and are any behind in fees?

H2Ochem - What is the purpose of your question? Do you want to know who you should buy your products/livestock from or is this to generate a negative discussion?

H2O it should be an easy request, there is a Spreadsheet that was created last year, where all Sponsor's donated items are entered. The way it was created, was by each sponsor, what the sponsor donated, the date of the donation, and who p/u the donation. We also "updated" as the items donated were won by the Member with a date.

Cheri - Please provide a link to this spreadsheet?

Sinner - That is a good one. A question I always ask - In the end, what is the positive result going to be?

WHAT IS THE POSITIVE RESULT OF THIS THREAD?

not really a big deal, we do have a spreadsheet, but i do not want to publish everything on it (like all of the sponsor contact info that we have - a privacy issue with the sponsors). give me a bit and i will pull the sponsor name and due date data into a new spreadsheet so i can post it.
as for the "who picked it up" and "what was donated" information, that is now irrelevant as all sponsor fees are a combination of money/gift certificates and they are all mailed to the maast PO box so they can be documented by the treasurer. We also now use a standard agreement document to keep track of all information and keep up to date records on spreadsheet as well as in a sponsor information forum that is used by the sponsorship committee.

we have implemented these improvements in record keeping because we want to be sure everything is well documented.

because of the sensitivity of this information for many reasons, the list has been posted in the charter member forum.

Ross, I no longer have access to the spreadsheet, due to it is located in the Front Office Forums, where only BODs, Committee Members and Moderators have access too...

[hobogato]

cheri, do you remember where that spreadsheet was located? i am having trouble finding it. it would be nice to have so i can make the most complete report possible in the charter forum.

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Sure Ace, it was located in the Sponsorship Committee forum, Brian is the one who actually produced it. Subsailor and I entered data into it. I have not had access to it, since Sept, so who knows with all the changes that have been made.

[hobogato]

oh, i didnt realize you were talking about that one, i thought there was a more comprehensive one that went further back. thanks.

H2Ochem - What is the purpose of your question? Do you want to know who you should buy your products/livestock from or is this to generate a negative discussion?

Where or who I buy from is my decision. Period.

Generate negative discussion? Was just a question.

For an organization seeking non-profit status, regardless under which section, it seems difficult to get an answer to a question that would be available to the public when requested.

So you tell me; question or negative discussion?

Cheri - Please provide a link to this spreadsheet?

Think she did but only "members" can see it. Is there something to hide? Non-profit, "pending", will change that.

Sinner - That is a good one. A question I always ask - In the end, what is the positive result going to be?

As for Sinner's statement I have heard that from many people. Just day's before they lost their job.............then collecting my bonus.

WHAT IS THE POSITIVE RESULT OF THIS THREAD?

Maybe just an simple answer to an simple question?

[hobogato]

sorry, you missed the rest of the discussion about this issue in the charter member forum. everything requested was posted in the charter member forum and all available records have been compiled going back before last year. these sponsorship records are available for view upon prior request by a charter member at any monthly meeting.
