This is the weekly update from KG Team meeting on 21st April, 2013

1. Financial Review:  Finances are stable due to revenue from the ‘mini Venture’ (BMI Machine). We are ok till May end. 
   
2. Management Review:  An alliance was formed between FCube Cinemas and KG.  We hope to generate enough funding to cover salary of one support staff from this relationship.  They have agreed to give us 16 movie passes free of charge every week. 
   
3. Program:  Gift program is stable at 2 gifts per day.  We have to now focus on the stationery program for which we got over 700 applications.
