The president of the Astronomy League, Carrol Iorg , indicated that Ann House is running uncontested and is fully expected to be the secretary of Astronomy League. With this title, Ann is expected to attend the annual board meeting each year in St. Louis and the annual ALCON (including two extra days dedicated for board business).  When being encouraged to run for this office, Ann voiced her opinion to me that she was concerned about the financial commitment that was involved.  I told Ann that there are enough friends in the community that would help minimize her out-of-pocket expenses to be on this board. Having Ann on the board is of benefit to all those in Utah who have a passion for astronomy in that she can voice our interests in the direction the Astronomy League should go in meeting member needs. We have set up an account where interested supporters can contribute to help take the bite out of the travel expenses associated with this assignment. The account is as follows: Zions Bank Account Name:                Ann House Routing Number:            124000054 Account Number:            00512639 Please join me in helping defray some of the travel costs associated with Ann's obligation by contributing to this fund.  Every little bit will help and can be done over the telephone, by mail, or by visiting a Zions Bank branch near you. We thank you in supporting this worthy cause. Rodger C.
