[Board] Funding for booth at Location Intelligence

[Gary Lang]

'coercy' is Canadian Blackberry for "correct". ;-)

You really should roll in the committed income from ADSK for the year,
is the point.

Tyler,

A financial report is not a cash flow statement. You have the former,
coercy? 

I'll try to get one out to you this week to work with. We'll plug the
expected quarterized income from Autodesk plugged in, and you can plug
in expected income from other sources. Then you can see what we need.

I reviewed the financial statement for jan 06-07, but I'm feeling a bit
concerned about our realistic financial status looking forward over the
Jan '07-'08 period.


Okay, I can relate too.  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.

A couple things to note:
- 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.

- VisCom budget doesn't need a lump sum up front, it would still useable
if available in quarterly instalments as/when available.
- 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.

This is certainly putting some fire under FunCom and raises its items
priority back to where they should be on my list.

Thanks all - have a good weekend,
Tyler
