I think the number is still around minus $600k. Instead of cutting Section
News this year, there will be other cuts in QST. Even though we've postponed
action on moving detailed contest scores, those changes were not even proposed
to start until 2003, so no impact this year.
Mary Hobart is the new development person and is actively working on ways to
reduce it but no promises. Long term we've decided to invest (lose money for
a couple of years) in the new development office because revenue from our
traditional sources of income are declining or not increasing (publications
sales, memberships and advertising).
