The list i just sent out is what the General Members would be involved in.
The rest of the list is what the Star Tours group will be discussing.
Here's what i have so far, but i haven't made it all the way through my
email yet today.
*STAR TOURS AGENDA*
-
Eric: Stipend for Event Coordinator
-
Alex: Separate Star Tours Funded Sig
-
How to Pay for Sig (Charge hiring company?)
-
Amount of Pay
-
Kevin: Execution of ALL Star Parties for the benefit of the attendees
-
Attending scopes identify assigned objects at the start to ensure no
doubling up of objects.
-
Those with higher powered scopes should be selecting more difficult
objects to see (11 inch scope showing Orion nebula or a naked eye object?)
-
Arrival of EVERYONE by the assigned time (looks more professional)
-
When helpers accompany the star tours member, establish guidelines
for behavior of the helpers (and match dress code)
-
Sam: Rotation List
-
Dress Code for all events (varies depending on event)
-
Borrowing PAS's Insurance (24 hour notice to Terri & Mike)
