*This is an e-mail from John Regal (this a year and half ago) who was then
President of SAS regarding dues - the e-mail chain is from six members
inquiring about SAS dues.*
*If we meet again to elect a new board, we should get a competent treasurer
that cash checks and goes to the mail box. We need a current membership
list as to who are paid members. There are apps now that you can deposit
checks right from your home using your phone. *
*Is there a copy of the current SAS by-laws and articles of incorporation
available? *

First - Covid is tricky for the club. Our meeting places are not options,
and large gatherings outdoors sponsored by the club have risks. The board
has been conservative and tried to encourage individuals to do safe
observing. We'll get our act together soon. COVID hit right at the
annual board transition which wasn't optimal for our rather loose
organization.
Regarding dues, we do have some expenses (insurance, web hosting, post
office box, Astro League dues) but are OK financially. Nobody has been to
the POB in a bit, I'll do that today and hit the bank to clear things up
(nobody has done that in months either). The board needs to address dues
when we are not able to meet as a group.
Please use this forum (or Facebook or just picking up the phone) to keep in
touch.
Thanks,
John
