  4. FY 14 Budget Request Our FY 14 grant from the Rec Office was approved in the amount of $2284. The members voted on the following modified budget: The total budget of $2860 includes $576 from club funds which amounts to 20% of the total. The sale on the package deal on the 8” telescope and mount expired. This relieves the time constraint on this purchase; however, the package is now about $100 more than initially estimated. This can be made up from club funds, increasing the club amount to $676.

  5. Equipment Check-out In order to minimize the chance of misplacing club equipment, the club will begin using the new equipment check-out form and the associated procedure for borrowing club equipment. Equipment room key-holders will need to sign off on check-outs and “parking lot” exchanges. Current key-holders: Steve Conard Dan Smith Helen Hart Mark Kochte
