Thanksgiving Quotations
• What we’re really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth
Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they
call it Thanksgiving? – Erma Bombeck
• Who does not thank for little will not thank for much. – Estonian proverb
• Got no check books, got no banks. Still I’d like to express my thanks – I
got the sun in the mornin’ and the moon at night. – Irving Berlin
• The unthankful heart… discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart
sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in
every hour, some heavenly blessings! – Henry Ward Beecher
• Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there
be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song. – Konrad
von Gesner
• An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. – Irv
Kupcinet
• Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true
measure of our thanksgiving. – WT Purkiser
• I love Thanksgiving turkey–it’s the only time in Los Angeles that you
see natural breasts. – Arnold Schwarzenegger

WHAT IS AN
ASSOCIATION BUDGET?
A budget provides the Association with a
projection of expenses for the coming year,
and serves as a basis for determining financial
obligations of its members.
The budget,
after adopted,
becomes
the basis for
allocating
the
annual
assessments.
Remember,
operating an
Association is
similar to running a business. You must plan
your revenues and expenditures for the coming
year. Associations are required to have annual
budgets. There must be a separate operating
and reserve budget.
The operating budget is a guideline that helps
the Association plan daily income and expenses.
The reserve budget includes items such as
roofing, paving, and painting, or other delayed
maintenance or expected capital expenditures
costing over $10,000.00. A properly done
reserve study will help the Association plan for
future projects that need to be addressed.
