[sac-board] Re: August meeting

Unless she's coming from a previous engagement, Carolyn would be traveling 
from the Space Science Institute in Boulder, CO.

She'd certainly be a Coup.

I can recall two other times we flew someone in, Rich Jaikel and I think the 
oard authorized $200.00, and Don MAacholz. Not Sure what that one cost. Any 
one?

I presume that if can land Ms Proco, she'd be coming from Pasadena, with 
enough advance notice we should be able to secure a pretty good fare.

Thanks for your hard work Jenn. I appreciate the quality of Speaker you get.
