The Jefferson County Historical Society is a quiet organization that cherishes and promotes local history and maintains a quaint and interesting museum downtown in a mansion that allows us to see up close the way it was in an earlier time.
The Society has marshalled its resources and is operating in the black. It seems a responsible way to run a "not for profit".

I like that word "volunteerism". But honestly...they are missing the boat by not unionizing like the Flower LieBarry staff.
That is an awful big WDT's article and yet they don't give us a budget breakdown at all. The historical society spent a couple hundred thousand last year, but we don't want to be bothered to know, on what they spend it on.
At least the JCIDA has the courtesy to list their 2012 budget right on their website. So we can look it up, click on it and see that out of the million or so they spent on wages, $762,982 of it was for "salaries" and $391,876 of it was for "total benefits".
It takes a little more brains than I gots, to figure out what it is, exactly, that we got for those salaries, but I am sure it was worth it.
You mention JCIDA, Funny there's the Paper Mill in B-Ville it had to be sold after two deaths, JCIDA steps up to the plate with financing and also a state grant, NOW the Gentleman hasnt paid anything back since November of well, is this anyway to run a not-for-profit? You bet it is.
They can't make a profit. They are non profit. I don't know. I don't understand anything any more.
