Boards must decide if the program, based

open to the public and everyone iswelcome
to attend. We have tried to : hold budget
increases to a maximum of .five per cent. In
areas which appear to ,require a larger
increase, we have tried to identify where a
corresponding reduction could be made. In
the management committee, we will be
looking at the possible gain which a compre-
