Did You Know?
Zeke asks, “Do you have the Cajun Fest
numbers yet?”
“We are still waiting for a few
bills to come in, but we are close to
having final numbers. Both our gross
and our net are new RECORDS. At $319,000, our gross
is 7.4% greater than our previous record. Our net (or
profit) is $206,020.16. That’s 15% higher than our
previous record. I always hope that our profit will at
least be 50% of the gross. This year it was 64.6%. That
shows that our festival chairs, Christian and John
Cassreino and Courtney and Raymond Bond, did an
excellent job keeping down expenses. If you see John,
Christian, Raymond or Courtney please give each of
them a hug and a big thanks. They sure deserve it.”
A recent national poll says “highly religious” people
are substantially more likely to be “volunteers” than are
people who are “not highly religious.”
VOLUNTEERED
Not highly religious
Highly religious
25%
45%
What I find disturbing is that more than half of
Americans do not volunteer, even though Jesus insist that
we serve.
