[TriLUG] Financial Status (The pizza email)

[Mauricio Tavares via TriLUG]

      For the past many months, TriLUG has been running at a deficit.
Although we have had meeting sponsors before, they have been few and
far between. So we had to rely on the donations we have received in
the "The Bucket" we place every meeting by the pizzas and the credit
card donations to cover our meeting expenses (Pizzas and Drinks).
Since the beginning of the year, the amount that we have collected in
"The Bucket"+card has only covered a small portion of those expenses,
the rest being taken from the TriLUG financial reserves. As those
reserves stand, unless something happens we will have to deploy some
Pizza Austerity Measures.

We are asking for your help in solving this issue.

Does your employer have a program that might provide funding for
organizations such as ours? Are you willing to sponsor a meeting, or
at least donate some larger funds than normal?
