If less than half of those currently directly subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to spare for next year. Please consider it. Financial Projection As of 10 Mar 2011 *** Condition: Green & Healthy *** Projected 2011 Budget $3271.04 Expended against projection $ 950.64 Projected Excess/(Shortfall) $1870.50 As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged and accounted for on the HBD web page.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2011 11:10:30 -0500 (EST) From: "Pat Babcock" <pbabcock at hbd.org> Subject: Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your lager... Folks- thanks for your support! For the first time in recent memory, the HBD is absolutely financially green and healthy, with finances enough to carry us some time into 2012. We will also be pursuing an official IRS letter of recognition to aid in both obtaining institutional funds in the future, and obtaining services and materials at "charitable" discounts. Finally, through this episode, a hosting facility that offers the root-level access the HBD requires at an exceedingly reasonable rate has been made known. We are currently analysing our bandwidth requirements and, assuming we fit within their model, will begin investigating the porting of the HBD and all of its facilities to the OS used by the host. Assuming all is containable, feasible, and functional afterward, the HBD funding issue should be pretty much resolved for all time. Stay tuned... - -- See ya!
