[sac-board] Re: Earth Hour and Star Party at Arizona Science Center

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the invitation.  I'm posting this reply concurrently to SACannounce 
and to our board.  I'll mention it at the SAC meeting this Friday as well.  
Please
send information regarding where we are to set up/can we drive our vehicles 
onto the plaza, etc.  You may want to inquire of East Valley Astrononomy Club 
as well, probably via Howard Israel whom I think you know from the Science 
Center:  howmad1@xxxxxxx .
Hi Saguaro Astronomy Club:
Here's a message from Mike George/AZ Science Center requesting a star party for 
the Earth Hour of Darkness Saturday March 29th @ 8pm.  Tom and I will be there 
and hopefully some more of SAC and some EVAC.  Maybe we can walk over to 
Friday's or Alice Cooper's Town afterward for a beer or a rootbeer.  Mike 
George will be sending me details which I'll convey as soon as I know them.

Kind regards,
Jennifer Polakis, VP
Saguaro Astronomy Club

  Hello Steve, Jennifer, and Jack,

  We will be participating in the Earth Hour event on the 29th of this month at 
8pm.  During this event, all city and government buildings of Phoenix will turn 
out their lights for one hour.  I know that this is a very last minute request 
of the Saguaro Astronomy Club, but would you like to take advantage of the 
momentarily dark skies and have a star party in the Heritage Square Park at the 
Arizona Science Center?  It will give a forum in which to discuss, among other 
things, light pollution.  The website for the event is www.earthhour.org.  
Earth Hour is an international event to highlight the impact that individuals 
can have on the environment and Phoenix is among six or seven US cities 
participating.  I hope that we can work together on this event.  If not for 
this, then hopefully on future endeavors.


  Thanks!

  Mike
