<p>Back on July 29, I asked for a change in the budget to branding
that amounted to $100,000 per month. <br>
</p>
<p>Rather than increase the budget by $100,000 per month, the LNC
increased the budget by exactly $100,000 total. <br>
</p>
<p>I was not overly concerned by that because I expected the LNC
would probably want to increase the budget further once we used up
the first additional $100,000.</p>
<p>Neither the LNC nor staff predicted in December 2015 that
interest in our promotional materials would be so high.<br>

<p>I'm just warning you all that this issue will hopefully be
brought to the LNC soon. We hit nearly $20,000 in branding sales
in the past week. Would have been even higher but I've been
holding off sending emails promoting items because we ran out of
a few key items and staff has been trying to catch up with all
the orders.</p>
<p>The stuff approximately pays for itself. I'd like to see the
branding budget increased by $100,000 per month in revenue and
expenses for August, September, and October. </p>
<p>I don't buy in huge quantities, so it's unlikely we'll get
stuck with obsolete materials. <br>

<p>Robert may provide more details soon. <br>
