* Revenue from racks is lower than expense; need to check accounts receivable, which should balance things out.  Should reflect budget to show that we don't anticipate losing money on the bike racks.
* Membership sales are projected to go up, given rebranding.
* Personal donations were significantly less than we expected.
* Rentals were minimal last year; can adjust the budget to 0%.
* Shop fees revenue projected to increase
* Advertising and promotions; reduced this year since rebranding has been done
* Publication costs increased for rebranding costs
* Employee and volunteer appreciation shouldn't have such a big reduction. Appreciation of volunteers is crucial for running of the organization.
* With the assumptions, we would be running a deficit budget (without taking into account the benefits to BWN)
* Increase to event fees line from folk fest payment
* Don't want to budget for a deficit because our cash position is quite a bit less than last year.
* Discussion
** We budgeted quite a bit for art and merchandise and didn't sell that much.  Last year's budget numbers had a less clear origin.
** Are these numbers taking into account the BWN renovations?  Yes, they are; some of the revenue will go up given the renovations.  Increase new parts revenue and ability to stock more bikes.
** Are Babac receipts being split out; separating tools and other parts.
** Payments associated with Casinos need to stay
** Grant we've received; so much needs to buying incentives for the program, some for membership of Canada bikes, some for commuter challenge software.
