Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: AOBA shenannigans?
Heather,
It has nothing to do with making a profit but rather that by definition
some income is taxable and some isn't. Your comment about the "real
intent" is unfair and untrue. If you have an interest in the truth, check
out the alpaca politics site where Amy McCroskie spelled it all out and
answered everyone's questions. Better yet, contact Amy personally to find
out the details. I'm sure she will be glad to fill you in until the letter
goes out to the membership.

I dunno, it seem to me that AOBA is a non-profit, created to benefit
members and the alpaca industry as a whole. If they're making too much
money, maybe they could give us back our subscription to Alpacas
Magazine, for one, and maybe make the ads in the FRG and Herdsire
Edition more affordable for us smaller breeders.... And maybe also give
those of us who don't have the $5k+ for benefactor status access to the
membership in electronic form as well.... if this really is about "too
much income."
Or maybe the real intent was to make salaried positions for those hand
picked to head up this new for-profit organization. Now there's a good
use of our dues and fees! Anyone else feel a bit used and taken by this
development?
