[sac-board] Sentinel and more potty talk

Hello board;
Well, as my last official act as Vice President, I would like to discuss the 
portapotty.  There are two parts to this discussion.  I have the paperwork (the 
bill) for December and we need to pay that, I will get it to the incoming 
treasurer at the club meeting.  Or I can mail it to Paul if necessary.

On Az-Observing we have had several folks discuss the fact that they would like 
to try Sentinel again for some clear weather for January 16-17.  I do not wish 
to drain the SAC budget to pay for a portapotty at Sentinel for weekends that 
are not THE Sentinel Star Gaze.  However, it is very convenient.

Maybe, a compromise would be to ask for donations and have the club pay the 
bill and have people who show up put a little money in the pot (sorry) to help 
with the cost.  

Jack Jones, do you have any idea if the weather is bad, how close to Friday can 
we cancel the order and still not have to pay the company?  Is there a 
"restocking" fee?

I am also more than willing to hear that "enough is enough" and that only a 
small portion of the club members are benefiting from this "luxury".  I can 
understand that input.  If 4 or 5 of us were willing to put 20 dollars into 
this, I would certainly be willing to start that ball rolling.  I think we can 
make something work.

Let's have some clear skies;
Steve Coe
