Horatio's lucky penny page 3

Horatio's lucky penny page 3 by ric Gustafson


Marcia Schuster started to write some numbers on a white easel. The people sitting at a small wooden conference table looked on. " This last quarter was not very good for the shelter".
" Why?" asked Dede Bensen. She was the shelter's family director.
Marcia gave s slight frown. " First, the city has cut our funding in half". Her voice hesitated. " Second, private contributions have gone down also".
Richard Conklin's hand went up. " Marcia, what can we do to help?".
She grinned. " Until the city raises our support". Her voice hesitated again. " We need to ask our private contributors if they could help us more". Her eyes glanced around the table. " John".
" Yes Marcia". The newest member of the shelter's staff smiled.
" I would like you to talk to Mr Horatio Longley". She gave a nervous smile. " He is the largest private contributor to this shelter".
" Sure".
