Special Guest Speaker

[Manning, Rob]

	Mark needs reimbursement for the train ticket down
on Sept. 7 since it's a special trip for him.  He's estimated that it
would
cost about $80.  So what I think we could do is take up a collection
from the members that attend august's meeting, then perhaps 
the Sept 7th meeting will have a small cover charge for those
that didn't attend august's meeting (I'm thinking maybe $2 - $4
if we get enough RSVP's).   So I could announce the $4 cover 
charge on the web and if it exceeds Mark's ticket cost we could
either reduce it, or setup a guest speaker fund to provide for
future "special meetings".  

What do you guys think?
