TDS: How big is the staff at ECNL now?
Noftsinger: Seventy-three member clubs (laughs). We all support each other. If you look at actual staff, we have a front office. It is about efficiency. We could have a staff of 10 people, but is that the best use of all the funds right now? No. We want to put as much as we can back into it for the kids. So, we have really kept our administrative expenses as low as possible.
