NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Financial Projection As of 19 Jan 2011
*** Condition: TERMINAL ***
Projected 2011 Budget $3271.04
Expended against projection $ 599.70
Projected Excess/(Shortfall) ($2197.49)

As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged
