NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. 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 19 Jan 2011
***      Condition:  TERMINAL      ***
       Projected 2011 Budget  $3271.04
 Expended against projection  $ 599.70
