My apologies for being so slow to respond; I was on my honeymoon. I |
17 |
agree with Aron's comments fully. I would like to see a better defined |
18 |
description of how store sales translate into funds for the foundation, |
19 |
but as long as it's well defined I don't really care if the foundation |
20 |
gets $x / cd or even 0$, as long as we know what it is so that the |
21 |
foundation can attempt some sort of financial planning. |
