I believe that paying for round trip transportation and a night at a reasonably decent hotel should suffice. Also, the fact that sometimes, before the presentation, the club invites the guest to have a nice dinner at one of our local restaurants, completes a pretty honorable offer on behalf of GSAS to any of its visiting speakers. What exceeds that, its becoming part of a vacation.
