Notes:
Forecast
(1) Based on what we are tracking at this point, year end
will result is $14,000 decrease, however, given all
indication from conversation with NMSDC, lowering the
Forecast by $20,000 is prudent
(2) AT&T 5G conversion

(2) As a result of cost of venue and escalating food costs.

(1) Food costs for the 1st and 2nd Quarterly lunches averaged
30%plus the amount charged in 2019. (2) September

venue). The DoubleTree Hotel the normal place of the
Quarterly, would not honor our request as they had a larger
booking including room night. area hotels are not signing
