[ale] Meetup renewal time

[Jim Kinney]

Another huge THANKS!!!

We've met our goal of $90 and have $25 extra. Meetup will get paid on time
(and not all by me this time - my wife thanks you, too!)

We have $25 in the hat. It can sit and wait for a need or ALE can find a
need.

I'll start a thread on what could ALE do with funding.

Again, many thanks for the generosity. ALE has always been a great group of
people.
