Please look up the definition of "real property". The club owns no
real property.
As far as I know, the club has gathered nothing in the past two years.
I guess you're talking about the Grants and Scholarship donations.
That stuff does not belong to SAC, but to that fund. Selling those
items will not help SAC.
Jack and I discussed the idea of a swap meet to sell items. He felt
it was a bad idea because items would end up going to whoever showed
up first and we would find it difficult to track what was paid for and
what wasn't, and people bringing in the items would not have a change
to purchase things (unless they only carried in what they wanted to
buy). It would be much better to auction off the items.
SAC owns 2 C-8 telescopes and a Pierre built 6" Dob. If we could find
them, maybe we could sell them.
