THE PRESIDFNT S COLUMW. 'The BudgetH

included in this isSUe ot the Newsletter it a c00y of the CKJA Budget for local
rommunity activ‘ties for l978. lt reoresent“ the concerted effort of the Budget Committee
and was examined and discussed in great detai. belore its passage by the Board of Directors
at the Decerbw' neeting. 3s a capsule Lummar; CF the major projected artivities of your
organization for the roping year it deserves yFUF careful study. I might point out a few
areas 9‘ aarfirrlar Intere t

Adwin1-fr r ve expense: of all standing committees have been combined this year into
a single Operating Fxpen es rategorv. lncluded in this group is provision for part-time
secretarial he‘p ’lQ hrs./wk.l, which should greatly facilitate our operations and enable
a savings or an estimated §69€ in otherwise incurred printing and mailing expenses.

Campaign expenses (including a share of Operating expenses) are estimated at $4000,
less than 2.5, of a (on ervatively proierted campaign income, an expense figure which
is Quite low even by nationa‘ hJA standards.

it our major program artivities net exneises for the Forum and for Camp Shalom are
eaih projected it 52500, a decrease by sever ' hundred dollars for the Forum and a similar
smali increa e ‘or the Camp compared to last year.

The overall expenses total may at first glance appear somewhat large. However,
after adjustment ‘0" ramoaign expenses and other income l'e.g. from the Foruml, our esti—
mated net local community expenses are about Sl3,00C, or approximately 7.5% of net
campaign ‘nCOme, a figure Quite comparable to what has been allocated for this purpose
in past year .

In summary, our l0cal budget is neither lean nor fat, but, I think, well balanced.
It reflects the vigor and ambitious goals of our still young organization and our growing
sense of cohesive identity and responsibility to ourselves as a Jewish community. I
look forward with you to a successful second year.
