[sac-board] Re: Observing Awards

Dear Board Members;

I have an opinion here and it is nothing but that.

I don't think that we ought to start down the path of providing awards to 
people who are not SAC members.  I have a variety of questions about what 
happens if we start to do that:

What happens when AJ or Jack don't want to do the work of providing the out of 
state awards anymore?
Is there going to be someone else to take their place?
How much do we charge?  Should the club make a small profit?

I am sorry, I just don't think that the rewards of providing nationwide awards 
are worth the effort.
I am know that effort might be small, but there are some pitfalls that we might 
not see.

Let these folks use the list for their observing and enjoy that, but giving out 
awards on a wide scale might be more than we want to take on.  And it might not.

Steve
