I'm working on requesting compensation in the way of credit at Bookmans.
I did mention the heat situation, and the last time Katy asked for us to do
an event
in the summer, she did give us $50 gift certs for bookmans, so maybe she
will do that again.
I'm also asking Mike to bring the Canopies to the event so we can all hide
in the shade under the PAS Canopies.
I await her answer.

June through September is too hot. In December the Sun is low in the sky,
and may even be hidden by the surrounding buildings in Bookman’s parking
lot.
I don’t think there is sufficient compensation for standing in direct
sunlight for three hours. Just say no.

I agree with Sam that the outside volunteers that are in the hot sun
should be highly compensated plus it is not a good time of the year for
solar viewing because of the heat. In addition July 6 is 2 days after July
4 and I think a lot of people may be out of town on vacation because it is
a short working week.
I think the event should be postponed to cooler weather.

I agree with Sam...I am thinking it will be hot for me to do this, so I
am probably not going to sign up for this.

Terri, for those who will be in the heat and humidity outside in the
sun on asphalt for 3 hours on July 6th during the hot part of the day, they
should get at least $50 coupons from Bookmans. July 6th is a horrible time
of year for solar viewing in Phoenix. For those doing inside presentations,
if they get $25 coupons, fine, but they will not be burned up like those
outside. To do this job for free inside is even ok, but to be outside in
the furnace for 3 hours, there should be compensation. There is a risk to
the person and to the telescope equipment outside. Canopies do not do the
trick since the scopes and the astronomer have to be in the sun. Also,
entering solar minimum there is a chance there will be no sunspots or
flares. Did Bookmans request solar scopes? If so, they should at least
provide compensation with coupons. If they didn't request solar scopes, we
should rethink having outside scopes in risky conditions.

Subject: [pasmembers] New Event on PAS Website for July 6 - Solar Viewing
Good morning PAS Members,
Indoor or outdoor displays, demos, handouts
and outdoor Solar Viewing
from 12pm to 3pm at Bookmans
at 19th Ave and Northern on July 6.
Sign up to today to assist.
Let me know if you are inside and what
you are doing to help, or outside with a Solar telescope.
I'm working on the details of the event.
RSVP today if you can do this event, and after i get
the details we want to know (will be posted in private forums) you can
change your RSVP if you decide against
doing the event. I just need to know we have a minimum of 2 solar scopes
attending, and maybe some indoor help.
I would like Mike to attend as well, with a meteorite table indoors with
me, or we might do it outside at the front
of the store like we do the Sidewalk Astronomy events. I haven't decided
yet. But input would be great.

I'm still adding details to this event.
