if sudoroom wants the omni to continue to exist, we will need to all get
on-board to keep this boat afloat.

Subject: [omni-consensus] !! Financial announcement !!
Hi friends,I'm stuck at work and probably won't make it to the delegate's
meeting tonight, but I wanted to make an announcement about the Omni's
finances.
As many of you know, the Omni has been running a monthly deficit of about $8,000 - $9,000
every month. We've been able to make up for that by dipping
into the funds raised in December through the Indiegogo campaign, but those funds are
running out quickly.
We currently only have enough $$ in the bank to cover two months of rent and expenses.
Member collectives can do your part by paying invoices on time
(and even early if you're able!) for the next few months. If your collective has
outstanding invoices for rent and shared expenses, this would be a great
time to appeal to your members for extra support so you can pay any $$ still owed to the
Omni.
The finances working group has been updating our Quickbooks and will soon be able to
present more detailed and thrilling financial reports so everyone
will have a clearer picture of where the Omni's money is coming from and how it's
being spent.
Better data = more lucid decisions.
Let me know if you have any questions about this. The next finances working group will be
held on Wednesday, July 22 at 7 pm at the Omni. Come hang out
with us if you want to learn more about Omni $$$.
xxxxooo,
SP
