[Iswg3906.organizers] amanda's workshop

[Jessica Foran]

Thanks Peter. I will try my best to make it from about 3-6 on Friday. I'm
looking forward to it. :)

In terms of the honorarium, I can submit this on Tuesday and the cheque can
probably be ready for Friday. It depends on our treasurer (I've sent an
email). The only issue is that I won't be able to pick it up from the
office later in the week, so someone else will need to do this (the office
is also closed on Fridays).

I am fine with the $200 honorarium for Amanda. Do we also want to give Alex
an honorarium? And just to be sure for the expense form, travel will be $25
for each of them?

I'll need to print this email conversation for documentation for the
expense form, so could others verify that these are the agreed upon
expenses before Tuesday?

As an aside, there was also an email that was supposed to go around to the
list for the Sundance Ceremony (Danielle's request) and it's been held up
on the listserv due to size since Friday. I had hoped it could be sent
around so we could also make a decision about this like we agreed to at the
last meeting (and so that I could also submit this expense form Tuesday).
I'll try to send it around again, but it may come in more than one email.
