I don't think we'll grown constantly 20% per year for 8 years.

I do think that in 8 years we'll have a $200,000 to $300,000 
budget. There is probably some sort of econometric model that 
talks about typical growth patterns.

From:	
	http://thecsl.org/sys/finance.d/checkbook.xls

Yearly revenue is:

	2004/2005	$14,631
	2005/2006	$8,806
	2006/2007	$39,266

To date in 2007/2008, We are at $39,256 in revenues we have 
received (and spent).

At Phill Hall's request, Eric is preparing a estimated budget for 
2007/2008 with a little more optimism than the one I did for the 
last board meeting.

If we get the Parker funding for 50K and CDBG funding for 20K we 
will be at:

	2007/2008	$109,266

It doesn't seem too wacky to expect to go from $100K to 200K in 7 
years.

If we don't get Parker and CDBG money,
we won't have a budget of 109K, but also won't have to 
demonstrate a salary growth plan. :->

I'll re-write based a more realistic model of bursts of growth 
and include Fred's (as always) helpful suggestions.
