Doing this, we might be able to sponsor something later in the year
by providing the sponsorship money up front a few quarters in
advance.  With a year-long schedule worked out, you can take extra
money at the end of a Q and send it along to a predetermined list of
sponsored events.

What we're finding challenging IMO in North America is that we don't
yet know what our important events are.  And there are so many of
them!
