In tsnglble flxed assets I'lhe free reserv68°I held by the Charlty should be at least 6 monlhs of

At thls level, the Trustees feel they would be able to meet such short temi needs of $8rvlce users
In the event of a signlflcant drop In fundlng. In the event of SUGh an occurrence, It would obviously
