My comment would be that you get out of SLAS with what you put in it. SLAS has many personalities and people with different expectations, neither can be dictated by anyone. We do serve the public well and any contrary views on that are just simply mistaken. We have had people come and go, people join for different reasons and leave as well.
We lost a few people over not finding a permanent dark sky site, the truth was those people offered no doable site. SPOC was built instead and a few got upset, we cannot please everyone and sometimes personal failings are blamed on SLAS, take some personal responsibility. If you don't like something SLAS is doing get involved and help change it. SLAS has made attempts to get input from members on likes and dislikes, club activities reflect this. There are many different feeling about SLAS having a relationship with the planetarium. I personally have no objection with cooperation between SLAS and Clark. We should keep communication lines open. My comments may or may not be consistent with the current SLAS Board. IE: a disclaimer, Erik
I take exception with that!

I agree to disagree.
