I'm going to add OUR state financial report for last year. This is enough to make me weep.

http://www.ms.asn.au/librarymanager/...l%20Report.pdf

We're talking an income of 5.3 million dollars.
salaries taking 3.3 million
and best of all...

fundraising expenses taking 1.1 million (MILLION) dollars.

1.1 million spent to raise how much money for what?????

I don't get it. I too am hoping I've read it all wrong, but I doubt that I have.

These kinds of figures don't make sense to me especially when you consider that there are only 15000 diagnosed MS'ers in the whole of australia and only 2,500 clients on the books at the SA and NT society.

Share out the 5,000,000 between 2.500 and dump the employees I reckon. I could fundraise for less than 1.1 million. I'm cheap. and i'll give half of my $2000 to research.
