[sac-board] Re: SAC T-Bird Park Public Star Party 2009 Scheduled

  As someone mentioned at the board meeting, it's a long drive for me to do 
Thunderbird.  T-bird is also well attended, given that we have a lot of members 
that live up that way.  I've always been disappointed with our presence at ASC 
for astronomy day and would like to see more there.  I set up during the day, 
as Gene said, AND do the night thing, too.  (I'm also usually the last to 
leave.)  We haven't had a dedicated SAC table that I can recall, (Gene does 
double duty, triple?, manning the EVAC and NASA and mentioning SAC), but it'd 
be better to have one of our own.
  I don't see a reason to choose between, but finding an incentive to involve 
more members.
