Hi all,
I am not up to long e-mail conversations as I'm typing only with my left
hand, but I'm slipping down stairs to read e-mail from time to time.
I hate to do it, but it looks like we really have to look into alternatives
other than Amprint. Erik, I know you are happy with the folks doing
Buntbarsche. We sdtarted a conversation about it at one point, but then got
side tracked. How much would they save us, and how far would we have to
move our production schedule up to stay on our current publiction schedule?
Karen

Subject: Summary of 2000 -- 2002
Hi guys --
Going over the annual reports for the past 3 years (2000 -- 2002) this is
what I come up with.
AGA -- Summary of 2000 -- 2002
Year Starting balance Ending Balance Delta this year
Cumulative Delta
2000 $ 29,391 $ 31,756 $ 2,365 $ 2,365
2001 $ 31,756 $ 37,326 $ 5,570 $ 7,935
2002 $ 37,326 $ 16,033 $(21,292) $ (13,357)
We took two big hits in 2002 because:
1) We had virtually no TAG expenses in 2001, and jumped to $25k in TAG
expenses in 2002
2) We bot $7,500 of PAM's in 2002.

Thanks David. These are the numbers I really needed to see at the board
meeting, so I appreciate the work today. For the rest of you, this
underscores what I've been trying to push... we are *not* in good shape at
the moment. We are closing the gap, but it is not near closed yet. Having
$17k in the bank means that we have 2-3 TAGs of cushion remaining, and
this money is used for other things than TAG: new books, ribbons, next
year's convention expenses. David sent me a budget spreadsheet which
shows clearly we'll be losing around $6000 next year if we continue at our
current expenditures, membership and ad revenue (it includes $2000 income
from the convention). I think it may be time to start talking how we can
reduce that gap further, but since Karen's out for a while, maybe everyone
just start "thinking" for now and we'll talk in a few weeks.
Thanks for listening, and now I'm going back to simple things (editing the
convention video)
- Erik
