[sudoroom] Art Murmur membership application

[Tracy Jacobs]

Welcome Hilary!

So about the Art Murmur membership, I don't see anything on here that  
would exclude us, it might require some small time committments from  
people to have the "gallery" open.  In theory the gallery could just  
be the box office, with a rotating show.

The other thing though is there is a fee, it's pretty cheap for an  
organization, but too much for me to pay alone.  $100 one time  
application fee and then 175 a year membership.  Perhaps we can  
consider this at a future business meeting.

I have yet to hear from any of you about your plans for the July 6th  
Art Murmur?  Is anybody working today ?
