[sac-board] Re: SAC Budget 2005

We may want to consider the effect of not pro-rating the dues--instead, 
collecting for one year periods at the time of membership.

Also, it looks like we'll not be getting the planetarium in November/Machholz.  
I'm working on a planetarium speaker for Aug or Sept.  I'd like to get a space 
artist for it.  Any ideas?
