My thanks to Jack for taking care of the Deep Sky and Messier Marathon announcements. I have a question about note 9 on turning in check-off lists. What is Cheryl's responsibility in this connection? Is this a typ-o or was something decided at the meeting? Sounds like it was an interesting meeting, aj Joe Macke wrote: >Below are the minutes from the March general meeting for comments and >corrections...Enjoy! > >Saguaro Astronomy Club >Minutes of Regular Meeting >March 5, 2004 > >8.
