| | Zen Unbound - "Tricycle: Can It Recover?'" |
 | | But according to their new financial report, before fundraising, Tricycle's revenues are at their lowest in seven years -- a rather paltry $440,596, compared to $793,559 in 1998 [See the table at the bottom of the page], despite a one-dollar cover-price increase on the magazine about two years ago. |
 | | While it is certainly appropriate for Tricycle to pay employees commensure with their position if their work is adequate, the Board of Directors continues to fail to dedicate a stream of money directly toward funding future magazine copies owed to subscribers. |
 | | It seems to us that the Board at Tricycle continues to fail to value the goal of "putting back" the money that was squandered in the late 90s on irresponsible fundraising, that should instead have been set aside to meet obligations to subscribers who prepay for issues of the magazine. |
