Museum writes off $26,000 from 2010 hydroplane event
COEUR d'ALENE - The Museum of North Idaho had to write off $26,000, stemming from a vintage hydroplane historical exhibition and failed fundraiser in 2010.
The write-off was listed on the museum's 2014 newsletter. Dorothy Dahlgren, the museum director, confirmed the write-off.
She said Tuesday she is holding out hope that Diamond Cup president Doug Miller can repay the money in the future.
"Doug would like to make it right with us one way or another," she said.
She said the museum anticipated the money would be paid after the 2013 Diamond Cup. When that didn't work, the museum just decided to get it off the books.
The event cost more than $58,000 to put on, and brought in nearly $32,000, she said. Read more. David Cole, CdA Press
