Board Meeting Take 2

Today was the "real" board meeting. Where we tackled ALL the different companies and ALL their status reports and ALL their finances. Sigh! At least it took us "only" 7 hours, including an hour or so break for lunch. Which isn't too bad, really, if you think about it; we had a lot of ground to cover since it's been a looooong 7 months since our last Board. So yeah, 7 hours is pretty good: We started around 1030 am and we were done at 530 pm.

Hey----look at those numbers: 7 hour meeting, 7 months since our last Board. Lucky you think? Hehehehe.

Next month, we should seriously look into using some sort of financial reporting software. This way, all the companies will all have the same look to all financial statements, making it easier for the members of the Board to look through the financials of each company. If we know what to look for, i.e., the bottom line, then we should be able to determine what's the bottom line for ALL the companies just because the numbers were presented in the same manner.

There were some "exciting" discussions/debates for sure, which made for the long hours in the "conference" room. I'm just SO glad we're not going to have another Board Meeting until next month!

[SOME WILLIAMSBURG SCRAPS}

MAIN STREET Journaling reads: Main Street was THE focal point of the entire Colonial Williamsburg experience. This was where everything happened, where everything started. The declaration of independence of the original colonies from England was re-enacted, and the townspeople got in their character by dressing in colonial wear and speaking in Ye Olde Colonial English.

MAIN STREET SIGHTSJournaling reads: The American Revolution originated in Williamsburg with such great Virginian patriots as George Washington, Patrick Henry, and Peyton Randolph. It was humbling to see how these great men and ordinary townspeople responded to British threats; and how they decided to declare that the colonies were no longer under British rule but free and independent United States of America.

THE CALLIGRAPHERJournaling reads: We entered the Post Office for an hour with John Greenhow, who talked about the Mysteries of the Quill. We learned that quills have to be sharpened, and that a quill dipped in just a little bit of ink is the best way to use it.
