Metzger) Subject: Re: CRYONICS: Cash flow shortage As I mentioned to Tanya in a phone call to Alcor earlier today, I realized this morning that I owed dues to Alcor. I called up and paid them, thus doing my small part towards fixing the cashflow problem. However, at the same time that I realized that I owed money, I also realized that no one had complained to me that I owed money. Steve Bridge is new at this game, so I'll point out that one thing organizations with cashflow problems try to do is to tighten up on collecting receivables. If I hadn't been contacted, I bet that there are other deadbeats like me who hadn't been contacted either. I suspect that exercising tighter control over billing and collecting current outstanding receivables might ease up the week's cash crunch, although it will of course do little for the larger question of the problems with the annual budget. If only a dozen or so people owe money the way I did and just were made to pay up, the current payroll would be met. Perry Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1854
