Hi folks,

I hope you all had a good holiday.

I got this just before Thanksgiving and decided to hold off on it until
after the holiday, and yesterday I got another copy of it from the guy,
just in case the first one didn't get through!  So, I replied to that
email, saying that I wanted to get some input from the other officers and
board members before making any comments on his request.

Let me know what you all think.

Don

*Hi Don,*

*          I am writing you from southern Arizona on behalf of AZ State
Parks.   I'd like to share a request from an Arizona State Parks ranger,
Sarah Kirk, at Fool Hollow State Park in Show Low, Arizona.  *

*         She was an interim park manager at Kartchner Caverns State Park
over the past few years.  While she was at Kartchner, we ran astronomy
programs, and these became quite popular.  At some events, we had more than
300 attendees.  Members from our club and others set up telescopes for
night sky observing.   *

*          Anyway, she now works at Fool Hollow State Park in Show Low,
AZ, and she asked if it would be possible to run a similar event there.
  She would like to aim for an evening observing event for May through
September next year.  If this is something EVAC could help with, please let
me know.   Also, if you'd like to spend the night there, Sarah is will to
give free entry and camping to astronomers with telescopes.  To see
examples of other astronomy programs at AZ State Parks, please visit this
