The problem is not necessarily with expenses. Expenses from 2004 until 
the present are between $210K and $220K. Our projections for 2010 
through 2013 show expenses under $220K. Most expenses are not linear, 
especially in the printing industry.

The REAL problem is on the revenue side: We have fewer and fewer members 
to share those expenses. In 2004 CORSA had 5300 members. This year 4600. 
That a loss of 700 members. The same expenses which were shared by 5300 
members in 2004 are shared by 4600 members today.

CORSA does not pay a salary to Mike and Harry. CORSA pays fees based 
upon a contract which is reviewed regularly by the Board, and was done 
so this year. If the truth be told, our company DECREASED those fees for 
2010. If Mike and Harry did not provide the service, CORSA would still 
have to pay another company for those services, unless a group of 
volunteers does the work.
