I agree that there is a need for income strategies as well. Still, the idea
of annual budget is to plan the expenses so that the most areas of an
organization can produce results in what they do.

It would be ideal to count with a somehow stable basic income, and
therefore it would make sense to promote a motion for Lionel's idea of a
yearly membership fee. Of course it would have to contemplate the
exemptions of minors and members who actually don't have resources to pay.

Been more than 80 members, a yearly fee of US$100 with an estimated ~50% of
exemptions would put in SL general fund ~US$4.000 per year, probably enough
for basic operations.
