Hi All,
Here are the first three paragraphs from the Member Handbook that is posted
on the web and is included in each new members welcome "packet." The
highlighted section is what Mike suggested be added - does this look ok? If
so, I'll send it off to Jeff Stevens and have him update the website with the
new version (the new section will not be highlighted).

Welcome to membership in the San Diego Astronomy Association!
The SDAA is an organization created to further the education of its members
and the public in astronomy and the related physical sciences. Membership is
composed of people from all walks of life who share the same fascination for
the Universe around them.
The SDAA is committed to the philosophy of equality for all, regardless of
gender, gender identity, race, ethnic origin, religion, age, marital status,
sexual orientation, disabilities, or any other reason. All people should
be treated with respect. At no time is abusive, demeaning, humiliating, or
intimidating behavior acceptable; abuses of power are unacceptable. The
Board of Directors shall provide for such policies as are appropriate to
recognize and maintain this commitment.
If you have a telescope, please jump in and attend any of SDAA’s star party
events and our site at Tierra Del Sol. If you are learning how to use your
telescope, SDAA members will be glad to help you at these events. If you are
thinking about obtaining a telescope, the best advice is to defer any
purchase until you have attended any of our star parties to see what works
best for your interests. In addition to visual observing, SDAA has monthly
meetings with lectures on space and astronomy topics and an active imaging
group.
