[Sigcabinet] new members brunch - pay out of SIG Project Fund

[Phillip M Edwards]

I think the decision to cover the brunch from the SIG project fund is a
much better plan from an equity standpoint and from a logistical standpoint
as well. Every year we've had a "pass the hat" approach to funding the
brunch, which seems overly involved for an event that has become a regular
(and valued) part of the AM program. Taking care of the funding for the
brunch in a centralized manner seems preferable. Thanks for proposing this
alternative, KT! -Phil
