While it's not a SAC event, there is a Mercury Transit event scheduled for 
the new observatory in Gilbert. In addition to the facility's telescope, 
various people (SAC and EVAC members) will have equipment on site. Since
this is a public event, everyone is welcome. I believe there will be 
an announcement in the local newspapers - they have been invited to attend.
General observatory information is available here: http://rotaryobs.org
