Since nobody has made any suggestions (and my connectivity hardware is
arriving here!), here are some from me: 

I recommend first that we allocate $70 to cover two years of registration
of our own domain.  This goes directly to the Internic.  (I also need
suggestions on the domain name, since aga.org and aga.com have been taken
already.) 

It's going to cost me $90 per month to keep the site running.  As I said,
I really didn't want to ask for an exact sum since I don't know how much
is really appropriate.  One nearby local club is paying several hundred
dollars per year for someone else to maintain their site, something which
surprised me when I heard about it, but now makes a lot of sense since
I've found out my costs!  I suspect the Seattle club, which will be
co-housed with the AGA & Krib, will probably chip in $10-20 per month for
this.  At minimum, I'd suggest $10/month, $20 if we can swing it.  Can we
swing it within our current budget?
