As someone mentioned at the board meeting, it's a long drive for me to do
Thunderbird. T-bird is also well attended, given that we have a lot of members
that live up that way. I've always been disappointed with our presence at ASC
for astronomy day and would like to see more there. I set up during the day,
as Gene said, AND do the night thing, too. (I'm also usually the last to
leave.) We haven't had a dedicated SAC table that I can recall, (Gene does
double duty, triple?, manning the EVAC and NASA and mentioning SAC), but it'd
be better to have one of our own.
I don't see a reason to choose between, but finding an incentive to involve
more members.
