AARP tour in The County a success
To the editor:
On behalf of AARP Maine, I would like to thank The Aroostook Medical Center and Aroostook Agency on Aging who worked with us to host the AARP Maine Voter Engagement Tour recently. We held community conversations in Caribou, Ft. Kent, and Madawaska. I also want to thank the hundreds of County residents, many of whom are AARP members, who generously shared their thoughts and concerns during these events.
As a new year approaches a business owner must prepare a budget for their business. Decisions must be made as to how many workers will be employed, what compensation can be afforded for those employed, will new equipment be needed, and if the business is sales oriented, how much inventory will be needed. However, a successful business owner cannot begin the budget with these thoughts. Where does the process begin? The first decision must be to determine the amount of revenue (sales) that will be created. The revenue must exceed the expenditures or the business will eventually fail.
