I'll go through the finances and match it up with the 2006-2007 budget to give you a picture of where we are at with it.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>A couple things to note:</DIV><DIV>- The financial statement didn't show all of Autodesk's contributions, there is another $70k coming in any day now that went with the initial 50k but was reserved for 2007.<BR></DIV><DIV>- VisCom budget doesn't need a lump sum up front, it would still useable if available in quarterly instalments as/when available.</DIV><DIV>- If I don't have a handle on funds for this conference early next week, I'm going to say we can't use the donated booth space effectively, (or I'll try to find a plan B). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, only because it means I'll have even more time to devote to fundraising activities instead of event planning and that's a good thing.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>This is certainly putting some fire under FunCom and raises its items priority back to where they should be on my list.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks all - have a good weekend,</DIV><DIV>Tyler</DIV></BODY></HTML>
