Dear Robert:
Enclosed is an estimated initial operating budget with
mission description and first year goals for the Omnimax
Theater as provided in our agreement with the city.
This is a start-up year. We anticipate our revenue
will increase annually and that start-up expenses should not
be necessary beginning next year, thus lowering operating
costs.
Excitement grows with each day closer to opening. Our
phones are ringing with inquiries, even from Wichita Falls!
The theater is very impressive, showcasing splendid picture
and sound.
Thank you for all your help to facilitate construction.
We look forward to the theater's role in promoting Lubbock's
economy.
Sincerely, j�
