It Only Hurts When I Blog

We are off to the beach again... Uncle too!
 

Beach is the place to be with those temperatures. We have our summer (fog) 50's at night, low
60s today. Our usual glorious sun is gone, gone gone! Good for SF marathoners though.

I hate spiders so eeewwwww to that photo. We do not have mosquitos or bugs (except for the rare heat wave.
 

Well, the meeting at my church ended in two votes, restricting the use of the invested funds, which means if they don't come up with more pledges or fundraising. what they'll be proposing are probably staff salary cuts. It puts more pressure on the fundraising side of things, and maybe they'll get their act together around those efforts, which have been pretty lackluster. I feel pretty upset about it all right now, but I know things may turn out ok. There are lots of people there who care about the music program. But I got a comment from one guy, a housepainter, who i know well, who said to me, "Well, I had to take a 20% cut in pay this year in order to get business". What they're going to have is a 20% cut in the music program if they do that. I have to make up that income in other ways, and can't be expected to just absorb the cuts and put in the same amount of time.
 

Hang in there, Marcia and see what happens. Hope it will all work out in your favor. xxx
 

Good luck Marcia. I know you work very hard for your pay! The ideal position would be that they think they might lose you if your pay is reduced but leaving open the option of staying if a reduction is inevitable.
