In a small business, the uses and societal benefits. This is
of ROI could be to measure the more difficult to measure--in de-
performance of pricing policies, termining the social return on in-
vestment, the payback would
need to be quantified to calcu-
late the cost versus the benefit. A
network of practitioners was
formed in 2006 to facilitate the
evolution of calculating social
return on investment.
While return on investment
is a useful tool to look at prof-
itability, calculations are com-
plicated by other factors such as
time, maintenance costs, financ-
ing costs, other investment con-
siderations, and the overall goals
of the company. For instance,
with the purchase of capital
equipment, it is expected that
equipment will provide a ben-
efit to the company for several
years. As such, the net income
will need to be estimated for
future time periods to determine
the overall ROI. Additionally,
maintenance costs over the life
of the equipment will reduce the
overall ROI. An accountant can
assist with the formulas to de-
termine more complex ROI cal-
culations.

The Grant County Art Guild is a nonprofit organization of local
artists and fine crafters who come together to show and sell their
work. Their mission in assisting with art education has been accom-
plished this last year through classes for their members and art sup-
plies donated to area school art classes. The seasonal gallery for the
Art Guild's 40+ members is the Pinos Altos Art Gallery located in the
historic Hearst Church, open from 10 a. m. till 5 p.m Friday,
Saturday, Sunday and major holidays through October 18. Tradition-
ally, artist members take turn hosting at the gallery; on those days
they have a special exhibit of their work. It is an opportunity for the
visiting public to learn more about the particular art form of the fea-
tured artist and for the artist to get feedback from those who enjoy art
and art galleries.
On Friday, May 29, the Guild's historian and long-time member
Mary Soule will be the featured artist. Mary is well-known for her
needlework and fabric art as well as her ceramics. She is also a painter
and photographer. If you are wanting more information on the his-
toric building that houses the gallery as well as the history of the
Grant County Art Guild, Mary is an excellent source of that informa-
tion.
Dawn Byrum has developed a distinctive art style and her color-
ful paintings always draw attention at our shows. She also works in
various crafts and will be tending the gallery on Saturday, May 30, to
show you her newest art works. It would be a great day to take a short
drive to the Pinos Altos Art Gallery and see what Dawn and the other
artists have to offer.
On Sunday, May 31, Donna Schmidt will be the Guild's featured
artist. Donna paints mainly in oils and acrylics and continues to grow
as an artist as she pursues classes and her art. She is much appreciated
for the many past years of work that she has done for the Guild as
the treasurer, as a board member and overseeing shows and projects
for the Guild. Donna has taken a well-deserved time off from that
work this year to concentrate on her art.
The public is cordially invited to stop in the Pinos Altos Art
Gallery, 14 Golden Avenue in Pinos Altos, to check out the always
changing display of local art and fine crafts. You will find the vari-
ety, talent and pricing there very amazing! Some come to see the
historic building and unique gallery setting, some come for the
art. Browsers and buyers always welcome and there is never an ad-
mission charge.
