Sam, you asked, (paraphrased) Why are we in a new location this year for
Luminaria?
The answer is, that they have a fairly bright Light display taking over our
mountain.
See details in the PAS forums.
Thank you for the inquiry.

Terri,
I can bring either an 8" SCT or a 12" SCT to the events and I am
interested in doing as many as possible. For presentations, I can do
Meteorites, The Solar System Moons and our Moon, Planets (Mars, Venus,
Mercury, Gas Giants), Life on other planets, The Rocket Garden, which
includes info about the past and future of space exploration, and any
combination of the above. I can also serve as a runner if need be, but I'd
prefer to be either a scope or a presenter. I expect to be available for
all evenings during the season, so I can also be a back-up for any night
that I'm not assigned. I can meet the dress code as well.
Thanks,
Kevin

Good evening Star Tours group members,
I'm making a list, to track who is doing what event for the 22 Luminaria
events at DBG and i'm organizing a way to message through a group email
through my gmail account, only those who are planning to attend and be part
of the Star Tours Luminaria events.
I have had several messages from members who have decided not to be
involved in this year's event for various reasons, and so I'm looking to
find out who wants to know about these events, and who wants to know
nothing about them.
If you are not planning to any of the Luminaria events this Holiday
Season 2015, please let me know to drop you from the list.
Here's the list, thus far (I copied this from the Revolving Star Tours
List - and this is the order you will be contacted to take the jobs at
DBG):
So, here's who i have available, and those who have dropped. Please send
me updates, if this is incorrect.
The dates of the Luminaria events was sent out in a previous email. Let
me know your status.
When you reply, tell me what scope you can provide for these events, or
what presentations, or both, or if you want to be a Runner during the
Luminaria. Some of you might want to be a scope one night, and then take
the next night a little easier, and be a Scope Runner. I'm ok with that. I
just need to know who is doing what, before I give away all the dates. Now
is the time to inform me of what you can do!
Please confirm the below info:
What scope?
What display for Presenter
Can you meet Dress Code?
Terry Dancer - 5" Refractor
Don Boyd - 8" Newt
Earl DeLong - 10" Dob
Sam Insana - 8" Newt
William Finch - 10" Dob
Kevin Witts - 8" SCT + Presentations on 1) Meteorites, 2) Moon, 3)
Planets ? (list each separately), 4) Rocket display
Bruce Wurst - 12.5" SCT
Howard Moneta - 8" SCT or a 14" Dob
Pete Turner - 12.5" SCT ?
Rick Cunningham - 8" SCT or ?
Roger Anzini - 16" Dob
Mike Marron - Presenter: Meteorites
Please Confirm the above info with all possibilities.
I need all the data I can collect for this event.
*Susan is thinking of moving us* to a new location at DBG for this
year's event. I am going to make a trip there to check with her on it. If
you want to attend, let me know and I will set it up on a date we can make
it together. Your input is helpful.
*You NEED to reply to this email to stay on the Rotation List for this
event*. NO reply, and I will drop you from the list. If you are dropping
from doing the Luminaria events, please let me know.
This will be a very busy time for these 22 events. We must work
together, we must stay in contact the whole time, so the RSVP person may be
asked to use their phone to confirm attendance (in my absence), and send a
photo of set up, etc. And reviews for the newsletter, are highly
requested.
When you reply, if you prefer NOT to be the RSVP at an event you are
attending, let me know. I can pick someone else to be RSVP, when I'm not
there. If I am there, I am RSVP, always.
Let's have some fun, make some extra money for the holiday season and
enjoy doing this event again this year!
