Does the club still make some money if we order direct?
No. The VRCC chose not to do a fundraising calendar this year. The funds will go to the cost of the calendar and a very small margin to the two people who took the time to create it. Lulu tells us how much they will charge for the calendar and allows us to set the price for direct orders based upon that.
With the VRCC we took advantage of mass ordering resulting in lower Lulu prices and then pumped the retail price enough to provide a little benefit for the VRCC.
