Last night was the November Board of Directors meeting. We moved it up a week because of Thanksgiving. The meeting started half an hour later than usual because of another meeting which was right before it. We received the audit last night for the last completed fiscal year. The theatre ended the last fiscal year with a deficit. The good news out of that deficit is that the majority of that deficit is from depreciation of the equipment and facilities. We have struggled for a couple of years to find ways to fund the depreciation so that when equipment wears out we have the money to replace it. When income funds are tight, as they are right now with the recession, funding things like depreciation is more difficult.
Today Rhiannon and possibly Marsha Cash will be attending the Visitors Bureau program Give Em a Pickle about Customer Service. I'm scheduled to be at the River Heritage Museum for the a meeting about a big River Celebration.
Best Christmas Pageant set is getting base coated today and Jim is putting up a large rear screen projection for part of the back drop. I'm still looking for furniture and props for the show. We are still looking for crew for the show as well.
The story theatre troupe is performing in Brookport IL this morning with the City Mouse Country Mouse. They have spent everyday this week so far performing in Southern Illinois.
Yesterday I spent time in the main theatre arranging blue chairs to see how many we could fit in for a school matinee. With the new seats coming in our capacity will drop because of the wider seats. I may be replacing some of the new seats for a school matinee with blue chairs in order to keep our number of available seats up. It's like a giant puzzle with the empty space that you keep pushing around the little tiles to get them in order.
I'm spending the day trying to tie up a couple of loose ends before heading off to Wisconsin tomorrow for the national directors conference.
