jcepa Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The intent of this project is to create a DVD of beautiful holiday displays throughout the US and Canada with all profits going to charity It is not to promote our product, we are simply the company financing this undertaking and distributing the DVD. I hope this answers your concern.Jerry CepaUlta-Lit Technologies Inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackchecker Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 so have you finished accepting submissions? The site says Jan 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Saul Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 No disrespect to Jerry, but this smells to me like one of those poetry books that the parents and grandparents of 5th-8th graders buy for $75 because they get the letter that a poem that their child wrote was submitted to them and found worthy of publishing. It makes you feel good, and who wants to say no to Jr, but in the end, the company is simply putting together the writing of anyone who wants to pay the money to be in the book and is making lots of money off of it.And No, I didn't receive an email either, but I'm ok being in the group as George. So long as he doesn't park too close to me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Young Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Guys, I don't see whay some of you are making such a big issue over this. :?No one forced anyone to buy/submit anything. For the record I also received a request, but didn't avail myself of it either. Folks were given an opportunity to feature their display on a DVD, profits of the sales of which were going to charity.What % of sales went to re-coop the costs of manufacturing and distribution of the product is no one's business. The one exception would be if folks are being asked to contribute to a charity directly, in which case contributors do have the right to see % of their donations that go to operational costs.I do not believe that was the case here. Please correct me if I am wrong.To dis a vendor for making his actual costs back is, before distributing any profits is ludicrous from a business viewpoint.Oh, and BTW, do we ask those who collect for charities from their displays whether they report receipt of these charitable contributions to the IRS, as required? I would hope not, as that is their business.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
