Our annual budget planning sessions are Wed. and Thurs. of this week. Each director presents his/her plan for the coming year and we discuss it in great detail. It is often dreaded by program directors but I absolutely love it. That is because it gives us a chance to strategize in detail how we plan to raise the money necessary to do our ministry, and how we will spend it. It takes the guess work out of the question: ”Can I buy a new _____?” or the question, ” Can I go to the homeless coalition meeting in Hawaii this year?” FYI, the answer to the second question is always “Not this year”. 🙂 dc
