[sac-board] Re: SAC 2002 Budget and 2003 Recommendations

New membership is the lifeblood of the club. From the phone calls I got in
the last two years, these new members are coming mostly from serious
prospects picking up those brochures at Mr. Telescope. That is where they
call first and go to seek out Astronomy activity in Phoenix. They are in a
prominent place alongside EVAC's brochures and the staff points them out
whenever the question of an Astronomy Club comes up. I and others used to
keep a stack of brochures down there and checked on them periodically.
Nobody in the club knows now if they have run out or there are still a few
old outdated brochures down there still. None or very few were handed out at
the public star parties that I know of. A new brochure needs to be generated
with current meeting dates and contacts and someone designated to monitor
status. Curtailing events and raising dues will generate no new members and
possibly lose the members we already have.

       Here is my two cents on this issue.

      1. Raise dues $4.00 across the board

      2. Reduce the complimentary news letters to no more than 15.

      3.  Put out a box asking for donations at the GSC party to help defray
the expense.

     4.  Have the ATM group fold, label and stamp the news letters we send
out.
