The Rancho Gabriela School event was held on the basketball court behind the
school. The light issue was no problem until the neighbor behind us turned on
a spotlight, of course it was pointing at our scopes. There were several
hundred in attendance and were kept in check by a barricade, when the barricade
was dropped it looked like a stampede heading toward us.
The faculty was very experienced at turning the kids before they overran our
scope position and formed them up into lines. We received a lot of good
comments from the students and parents. Many of the family's had purchased
telescopes for home use and were fascinated by the views that were available.
We were able to show Venus, Saturn and Mars well. Also many enjoyed seeing
various clusters which was incredible with the lighting situation. The moon
was probably the favorite view because the contrast showed details well.
The Principal of San Gabriela was present during the entire event and many
Teachers were available to help. It was quite humorous to hear the adults make
up stories for their kids about what to look for when it was their turn. The
evening went very well and was appreciated by all that attended. I was
surprised when our mailman brought his family and daughters over for a view. I
have worked for a long time getting him interested in astronomy and it was good
to see it paying off.

Good morning PAS members,
I don't' recall who attended the Apr 27 Rancho Gabriela school event but
I need a brief review for the newsletter. If you attended, please
send me a paragraph or 2 about the event. Thanks
Terri, Event Coordinator
In case you are wondering, I'm spending today getting caught up on Reviews
for the newsletter because this week is quiet. NO events. Friday's Brownies
event was canceled, so I need to take time to catch up. You may get
a lot of emails this week as I work through what is needed for the Summer
issue of the newsletter. Thanks for bearing with me!
Good friends are like stars. You don't always
see them, but you always know they are there.
