Budget Proposals for 2004

n accordance with the club's By-Laws, the annual operating budget is to be presented to the membership in January of that year for adoption. Because of some problems related to what happened in the month of January, this got tabled until this month.

On the income side, there are a few variables listed.  We won't know until everyone's renewed whether or not we have the 72 members that are accounted for here; and there will of course be additional new members over the course of the year. No income figures were presented for coffee stop donations or general donations, because we have nothing to project them with.  Essentially, we are looking at about $2500 in new income for the year.

On the expenses side, the numbers pretty well add up to around $2100, with a projected surplus of approximately $400 (actual figures will vary).  Some items show an amount of 0 dollars, because they were paid ahead last year.  This is the budget that will be presented to the membership at the February 20 meeting for adoption.  The Board has proposed no changes to these numbers.
