I think you're right - ads alone won't do it. Tshirts alone won't do
it. I suspect that donations alone won't do it (although for any given
month, probably one of them might). It's going to take a range of
things all happening at once, varying from month to month. That way, if
one of them does really badly in a given month, we're still OK.
