++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I informed you early in the year that the funds were available any time you determined how much you needed. You requested them on 7/12/2014 at 2:22PM. I informed you two hours later (4:11PM) that the check would be in the mail that weekend or on Monday. You could have had the funds in March if you had requested them. It's my understanding that the same communications did not take place between you and Dan and that a check showed up just weeks before this years Gathering. Waiting nearly a year to do a report of $4000 of Gathering funds and mailing the check (as stated above) , seems less than responsible. I'm certainly not critical of you coming up a bit short, it happens year to year. My primary concern was your lack of communication with the host of this years Gathering. The situation created has the KR community jumping through hoops suggesting solutions to problems I really don't think the group has. A bit of organizing and a healthy dose of responsibility is all that is needed, IMHO. I regret having to call you out on the handling and reporting of the Gathering funds but a more responsible approach on your part to that responsibility would have avoided it ever becoming an issue. I had hoped that you would have handled the situation in a more mature manner, especially when communicating with a group you hope to do business with, but I have no control with that. If I am wrong with any of the facts I have stated, please advise and I will publicly apologize to you and to the group. Until then I stand by my post. Larry Flesner
