    I'll use the July 31 financials for further discussion, since that's
    the latest completed and published. <br>
    <br>
    As of July 31, we were $288,771 over budget on Dues and $195,755
    over budget on Donations. <br>
    <br>
    Part of the benefit of that is that as of July 31, we were $306,506
    over budget on profit.<br>
    <br>
    We could increase the budget revenue lines for dues and/or
    donations, but those lines don't actually apply any constraints on
    our activities, so as far as staff doing it's work, I don't think
    they matter that much at least in the short term. We continue to go
    over budget on donations and dues and perhaps at the next LNC
    meeting those numbers could be adjusted to reflect reality, but
    they're not really critical to short-term operational activities
    when we are over budget on revenue items.<br>
    <br>
    If we were way below budget on a lot of revenue items, then we
    simply wouldn't have the cash to spend on things regardless of what
    the budget says. <br>
    <br>
    So Sam, to answer your question "  These all appear to be expense
    side<br>
    changes in the budget, where are the income side changes that would
    balance them?"<br>
    <br>
    The short answer is that we could increase the budget on the revenue
    side as you've requested, it's just that it wouldn't matter much to
    me, but would also be fine to me other than the fact that those
    items might get discussed for a while and set things back. <br>
