Good morning PAS Members,
We have had great success at PVCC with Telescope Workshops,
and I try to schedule one every month at PVCC and one
every month at Bookmans.
However, the last few Indoor / Outdoor Astro Events haven't been as successful
as their own event. What they started out as, was a way to have some indoor
demos, hands on activities like touching meteorites, some really cool demos and
other posters, discussions about astronomy, etc... with PAS Members doing the
activities, such as doing the Moon Demo, or the Constellation Tubes, as I tend
to like to do. In the past we had Chet, Leah, Bob, Tim, and others, do a demo
of various things, and show the public stuff they wouldn't normally have seen,
if they didn't attend.
So, here is my thought, and I want input on this. The Indoor event at the
moment, the next one that is scheduled happens to fall on my birthday in
September. And I was hoping to have a bunch of people want to do hands on demos
inside with Mike
and his meteorites, and Me doing demos. With just the two of us, and maybe some
cool stuff that Jenny has provided, I don't think it is enough activities. We
really could use more PAS members to share something astronomy. Doesn't matter
what, but we need signups.
So, my original idea, when i started writing this email was, maybe we should
make it a Indoor / Outdoor Astro Event that includes the demos inside, the Star
Party outside - for which this is a dark sky night, and as an addition, a
Telescope Workshop. Because I know many times in the past, we have had people
come to the event wanting help with their telescopes, even though I didn't
advertise it as that kind of event.
I'd like your input on that idea. Add to this event, Telescope Workshop.
Also, I'd like PAS Members to get more involved. The event is set from 7:30 to
10pm. It is one of our shorter events at PVCC compared to every other event
that goes to 10pm. And those of you who need to leave early, can, because about
9:30, the public leaves, almost every time we have an event at PVCC. So, even
though we are scheduled to 10pm, we can star putting things away as soon as the
public leaves for the night.
So, the input I am requesting is about adding a Telescope
Workshop to this event.
and then, I'd also like to know who wants to help with a demo
indoors. Sign up with your demo by return email and
provide me the title of your demo and I will pick a location for you to set up
inside the room G-147.
I know Jenny will have her students at this event. So, if
we can make it more interesting with your demo as part
of the evening, that would be awesome.
Have a super Thursday!
