Hi Folks,
I'm a bit behind getting this out. Anyway, check the proposed list of events.
I really would like some firm commitments to either help out or coordinate some
of these dates. Please let me know by October 15 with an e-mail to
spacewatcher56@xxxxxxxxx
If you can help out, come to the October monthly meeting so we can discuss a
calendar. No matter how much you get involved, you'll get plenty of support
from the regulars.
