Since we are a non profit scientific outreach organization, I would be fine
with opening the training to the public at no cost.
However if it takes place at Mike's house then opening it to the public at
some cost to benefit Mike or contribute to the club would be ok as long as
it remains free to PAS members. Actually it would make more sense to
encourage any interested non members to join the club for an entire year at
$25 than to have them pay $50 for one night.

Do we have members would would like to attend the training session?

Terri, I would like to suggest a binocular workshop star party for a night
in October at Mike's.
We could do it in conjunction with an NSTS.
The Binocular portion could be one to two hours. I could help out with
this. We could probably get one or two other PAS members to also help.

Subject: [passtartoursgroup] Anyone interested in charging admission to
the next Night Sky Training Sesson?
Here's my thought, and i'd like your input.
We usually refrain from having the public at these events, but if we are
going to run it like the class format we usually do, why not charge NON PAS
members to attend? The public can attend the class for $50 for the night.
And the night can be until 11pm. So, maybe 7pm to 11pm?
What are your thoughts? Raise some money for PAS?
I'm setting up the next NSTS at Mike's for Mar or Apr. The date hasn't
been chosen yet. But i will let you know soon.
There will be homework involved for the attending PAS Members. And i'd
like my normal Teachers on hand... not that you are normal, by no means is
anyone in this club "Normal." What i meant is the usual Teachers I have at
this event who share things like a tour of the night sky, laser pointer
safety, and other things we want eveyrone to know about.
I'm sure the info we share at this event is well worth $50.
Give me your input. Thanks
Terri, Event Manager
Or, do you vote to keep this event Private, as it always has been? We
could do two of these events, one that includes a small moon early in the
evening, so we can start on the moon for the public.
