Has everyone signed up with me to do Lumi's, who wants to?
I"m not seeing a very large list this time. Those of us doing Lumi's will
be very busy this holiday season. That's great for those of us who
want to do as many events as we can.
Next item I need is...
Do you have a preference of up on Space Mountain (SM)
or down on the Native American Trail? (NAT)
Susan said she thinks it is a good idea to do
2 scopes on Space Mountain
2 scopes and a presenter on the Nat Amer Trail.
So, i wish to set it up as to what you prefer. You may not always
get what you prefer, but I would like to accommodate those who do wish
to be in one or the other location.
Let me know now, in a reply email.
I will be away from my computer for about 3 hours, so send those replies so I
can collect the data
and put it into the chart right away.
Let's make this happen!
Thank you all for your support in this upcoming event.
Terri, Event Manager
PS: I have 2 Lumi Members who can make it to a Walk Thru on July 8.
What about the rest of you? Input please.

Lumi Team
July 16 has been approved by Susan
however, she can't do July 23, our back up date
So, I asked her about July 8 which is a Friday
and July 30, but that is really close to her deadline
of needing to know stuff from PAS about the Lumi event
like set up location, so she prefers the earlier date...
I'm looking for input.
Those of you who said you could make both July 23 and 16,
please let me know if July 8 works for you, as our main date
and July 16 becomes back up date.
You do know July 8 is just around the corner.
a week away?
Quick reply needed anytime before the end of today
Thanks
And i'm out of here for the day.
I'll take care of this tomorrow morning
but your answers are appreciated while i'm not in my email
Terri
Awesome Thursday evening to all!

Good afternoon Star Tours Group members,
Some of you have expressed an interest in doing this year's Lumi events at DBG.
I sent out the dates back when Susan, my contact at DBG, gave them to me. It is
roughly Turkey Day weekend to the end of the Year, mostly Fri thru Sun and for
the whole week before and after Christmas. I believe we have 16 events this
year.
Susan and I are in conversation about this event. I'd like to schedule a walk
through because Susan wants us in a different location than last year, along
the Native American Flute Trail (not called that, but she and i know what i'm
talking about if i call it that).
What I'd like to do is find out who wants to do Lumi's this year, and start a
list.
What is involved to be a Lumi Team Member?
Dress code is ALL black, no exceptions.
All your outer most clothing has to be black, from 5:15 to 9:30pm. That
includes jackets, scarves, gloves, shoes, etc.
Since I sign a paper saying that PAS will provide a certain number of scopes
for the Lumi event, each night... if you sign up to do a Lumi event and you
can't do it, closer to the date, you MUST find a replacement scope for your
position. We will have back up scopes, and as long as there are back up scopes
willing to take the job in your place, you are good to cancel, but please, do
not cancel the day OF. If you are scheduled for a Wednesday, then, by Tuesday,
let me know you need to cancel and we will ask the Back up Scope if they can
take it. The main thing is, if you are unsure you can keep your commitment to
do the event on a certain day, please don't sign up.
Back up scopes are on call and should be ready to go by NOON the day of the
event. Don't signup for a Back up Scope position if you can't take it, if
needed.
Set up is 4pm every day. You need to be at DBG by 4pm for set up. A few
minutes, even 4:15 is acceptable if you have a Dob or another scope you can set
up super fast. You must be ready by 5:15pm. And keep in mind, the carts dont'
always come get you from the parking lot the moment you arrive. Sometimes they
take their time, so you have to consider getting to DBG with time to wait on
the carts.
Name badges are required, please.
Pay is $195/night, which is 4 hours,
with set up at 4pm
Ready by 5:15,
Event is 5:30 to 9:30
then take down and carts take you to your car
by about 10-10:30pm
We are considering having runners, but it will be up to you to hire your
runners. We will figure out a reasonable rate, and you pay your runner that
night, cash. You will receive a check in the mail from PAS and for this event,
DBG is prompt in paying, and pays (delivers check to me) every Friday, or was
it Saturday, no I think it was Sunday. One day a week, we got our pay in one
lump sum. Then Eric and I got the checks disbursed as quick as we could.
So, I am making 2 lists....
The first list is who wishes to attend and be part of Lumi's this year. So,
reply to this email if that interests you. We have a few new people on the Star
Tours list who may wish to join in the fun.
The 2nd list i'm making is who wants to do the walk through with me.
Here's the plans for the walk through. Susan and I agree to wait until it isn't
so hot out, so we are thinking end of July / beginning of August.
The plans are... DBG wants to hire 5 PAS Members.
4 scopes and 1 presenter every night.
That means Kevin and Mike will be very busy as presenters.
If it is cloudy, both presenters can be at the event and we may cancel the
scopes. We have to discuss this with Susan. May want to have a scope on display
even with the clouds.
I had suggested to Susan to have 2 scopes up on Space Mountain and 2 scopes and
a presenter on the Native American Flute trail. She said she prefer to have us
all in one area, but i did reminder her that the view from Space Mountain is
awesome!
So, we want to meet about sunset, or just before, then walk to the Native
American Flute Trail, and find areas to put scopes. Then, when it gets dark,
take notes of the areas we picked and see what's availble in the night sky for
a scope to show. I want to take along star charts to give examples of what the
sky looks like from each location and name the locations. Some of you can help
pick the locations and then leave, others may wish to stay until i'm done with
the walk through and drawing the sky.
That is the plan.
If you have a suggestion on what date to do the walk through, it has to be a
clear night, no clouds. Doesn't have to be perfectly clear, just clear enough
to see some constellations and see where we are looking to get an idea of how
much of the sky can be seen from each scope location.
Thank you for reading this.
Reply if you want to do Lumi's this year so i can add you to the chart, even if
you only want to do one Lumi, i need you on the list.
After the walk through, we will start the sign ups.
Have a super day!
Terri, Event Manager
