Revenue potential in the 4Q was lost ($40,000) when the Achievement Center changed their summer plans which had a negative impact on the proposed Youth Cultural Camp. It is noted, though, the Spady Museum hosted more than 100 children during the summer from the Prime Time and MLK Peace Camp organizations.
