 Oso reported on Free Geek financial history with pretty charts and twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was, to be used as evidence about our current status and future goings-on. Unfortunately, we couldn't read the paragraphs.
-Numbers from last year's finances have been extrapolated into a draft budget for 2006 (not yet updated on the [[Budget 2006|wiki page]]). This is provisional, based on maintaining the status quo, and doesn't include numbers for (for instance) grants. The plan is to update the budget as we go along, as dreams approach realities, and these modifications to the budget will be run by the board at our quarterly meetings. (We'll be adding to the budget each quarter so we always have a year ahead of us.)

 Marie: "That part that i want to hear more about is the part that's not here. When do we hear it?" There are some very rough estimates being developed for stuff that we'd like to do, grants, and other more dreamy things that are not included in the budget we're looking at. Some items that are not budgeted for yet, but might be included in that category, are a new forklift, restoring staff salaries (or increasing them beyond former levels), hiring an education coordinator, and (Oso's perennial favorite) renovations.
