RE: [802SEC] Fwd: Re: Enet dinner--expense approval, motion request
Count me in for dinner if we have one, and I am also willing to cover my
share. But I would prefer a separate receipt. I believe we should pay
for our guests out of 802 funds.

I will be joining Roger in disapproving such a motion if anyone makes it
in
its current form. I think it is somewhat unbecoming for the SEC to vote
to
buy itself $1500 worth of dinner out of the fees paid by the 802
membership.
I would be happy to vote in favour of a motion to cover the cost of
providing dinner for our guests out of SEC funds, and, like Roger, would
be
happy to pay my own share.
Regards,
Tony
