Re: [AGA SC] 2004 budget

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Some paid for multiyear and the least paid is $20, right?
so the method needs tuning.

Membership revenues in a period don't have a lot to do with
the size of membership but with the gross increase in
membership (the gross decrease notwithstanding). Is there
no record of the purchases in the paypal stuff or Cheryl's
records either?

Backing into the raw data stuff is tough. It would be much
better to record the raw data as it's created. Then
reporting is just summing an analyzing  -- and then 
guesswork and ersatz numbers are limited to planning, to
the budget. 

If we could have raw data about the future, that would be
nice too, but I hear from all but the best physicists that
it's not possible.
