Special Guest Speaker

[Manning, Rob]

James,
	Not sure, but I'd say that would have to be the 
impromptu guest speaker fund. :-)  

I suppose in this case one person (perhaps myself) should purchase
the ticket and at the meeting contributions could be 
collected to reimburse that individual's expense?  

How many would favor this type of arrangement for the 
next meeting?

Rob
