[sac-board] August meeting

Hi all,
August was to be a combined meeting with EVAC but it doesn't look like that's 
going to happen due to some misunderstanding with their VP.  The original plan 
was to combine funds and look to flying in a big name to make a talk at the 
Science Center or maybe another mutually agreed upon midpoint venue. But that's 
clearly not going to happen.   

My question is now, do we still want to consider the idea of flying someone in? 
 I have a pretty big short list of ideas and haven't pursued the invitation 
until I got an answer regarding use of the Science Center.  We now don't really 
need a bigger venue since it won't be a combined meeting, although we may want 
to consider a bigger place at GCU if we get any one the speakers I have in 
mind. Also, it obviously won't need to be the August meeting (despite me 
telling every person I've asked to speak that they can't in August due to the 
combined meeting).

And if we do look to flying someone in, what kind of budget would I be looking 
at?

Let me know your thoughts so I know if I should start the process of begging 
some folks to make their way to the light dome this year to avail us of some 
wondrous astronomical information previously unknown to us earthlings.
