Hi all,

I hope everyone made it through Hurricane Irma safely. 

Attached is the latest 2018 draft budget for your review.  This version takes into account that we are not receiving the Disney Grant. 

Please have a look and let me know any comments.

Regards,
Pete

Hi Pete:
I have a question about the Research Grants expenses (16818). For 2014, 2015, and 2016 the expenses shown are less than $4500 per year, but we awarded 3 awards at $1500 each of those years. The donations for research awards (15340) together with the expenses in 16818 come close to $4500 per year. Is that the correct interpretation?

A second question regards the printing of landscape brochures (16965). This was done in 2017 with money from FNPS reserves, although the original plan was to seek grant funding for that printing. I though the plan thereafter was that printing additional brochures would be financed by brochure sales, but I see a $11000 expense for printing in 2018. Is there offsetting revenue for this expense?
Thanks,
Paul
