Huh, one member gets us just about $1500 over three years. Basically,
looking at a deficit over three years gives us numbers to which we've never
before had to relate. Just a few members will solve all our problems.
That fact means one thing: I can gauge the possibilities by reflecting on my
personal ability to improve the space and bring in more members.
I know I can put in the effort, and will make the space grow just that
little bit. That makes this feasible for me.

Subject: [SkullSpace-Discuss] Budget numbers for the new space - we can
doit!
I was able to get the latest budgetary numbers from Jay concerning
what's in our bank accounts and such... I used those numbers to make
the spreadsheet that I've attached (LibreOffice .ods format).
Conclusion:
Assuming a 3-year lease @ $2300/month (includes electrical), with no
further membership pledges, no new members, no donations and no drink
money income, and no additional income, after 3 years we would have a
deficit of only $582.08.
I think that we can wipe out this number if we include additional
membership pledges, student memberships, new memberships, server
rental fees, classroom rental fees, desk rentals to members,
drink/food income, and random typical donations.
Consider this: Our deficit was $2782.08 before I changed one member
from $40 to $100 (he said he would pay $100/mo total for his own desk
space). The deficit then DECREASED to $582.06!
***We can do this, folks. Let's try and get this figured out at the
next meeting so I can go and meet with the new landlord and actually
get this process going. Remember that it'll take a bit of time to get
the lease finalised (let's call it the second week of November) and
then it'll take time for us to move in (let's call it the 3rd and 4th
weeks of November). We don't want to have a short period where we need
to store crap in peoples' garages... let's get it all moved at once
and not have to do two moves.
Please use this thread to discuss the numbers in the spreadsheet.
