I suggest we bring these ideas up at the meeting of the minds. Since PAS is a
non profit we should have input from as many members as possible if we are
going start charging more. The next step would be charging for telescope
workshops. I do not have an opinion yet but would like to hear a full
discussion on these matters. Sam

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. Sam

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.
ThanksTerri, 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.
