[Businessmtg] Excess Prudent Reserve Discussion

[Steve Rankin]

Hi ASPers,

During the first ten years of ASP the meeting had no expenses simply because
I paid all the bills out of my own pocket.  However, when I turned the
entire management of ASP over to the members of ASP part of the process was
for ASP to contract for its own server & pay its own bills.  

As a result, ASP does in fact have very real expenses that are absolutely
necessary to the existence of the meeting - namely the server which costs us
about $100/month.  There are additional expenses such as Newcomer's Packets,
banking expenses, snail mail expenses, occasional telephone reimbursement,
software, etc.  

Love and SERENITY,
Steve

Hi Friends:I agree it is time to donate money over our prudent reserve, for
the greater good.Since the practice of "group first" doesn't seem to apply
to online meeting/group aswe have no expenses (?), we move up the chain
accordingly.  I still lean towarddonating to WSO only, at this time, but am
not against holding some back as researchcontinues.  But a vote will resolve
that issue, with everyone being heard and coming to consensus. It seems to
me I recall that WSO is also instrumental in having CAL printed in
foreignlanguages, etc?  They used to serve the "world" when I was GR, but
I've been out oftouch for many years.Linda
