NOTICE--EDSO Member Discount In 2005, when the EDSO treasury balance totaled more than $4000, the board decided to start discounting most EDSO events by $3 or $5 per member. This program has succeeded in rewarding EDSO members who participate and also in encouraging some guests to join as members. Now that the treasury balance is less than $1200, the board has decided to suspend these discounts for the remainder of 2009 starting at the end of September. The board will revisit the topic of member discounts at the January 2010 board meeting during our beach weekend. More Pig Roast Photos: 4 .
