Anonymous Program expenses are down $12,500 due to a decreate in kid fit staffing and less party staffing as it relates to the decrease in party rentals being done . My thoughts: You have issues with word choice but the main problem is you have too many clauses packed into the main clause which confused the core meaning of the sentence. Down - has negative meaning.
