>The discussion on wplug-plan (about the banner and how much we'd be 
>willing to pay for something like that) motivated me to run these 
>numbers.  I've tried to project WPLUG's financial position going

>spend money on (taking my best guesses as to what we'd be spending on 
>things like the picnic, and paying for our use of WSCC), and assuming 
>the current trends in membership renewal rates continue sort of as they 
>have.  The numbers I came up with sort of made me sit up and take

>So basically, at our current spend rate (spending only on things we

>money until about mid-2014 before we start having issues.  Even if my

>that we're spending money faster than we're taking money in.  If it ends 
>up not being a problem in 2014, it still is likely to be a problem in 2015.

>Not even sure where I'm going with this, other than mention that it's 
>something we definitely need to think about.  Over the next year or so, 
>finding ways to improve our income stream (as well as minimize expenses) 
>will become sort of important.
