Terri, in the forum listing you only listed yourself and William as
telescope teachers
but in the calendar listing (which doesn't list the public rsvp's) there
are 6 PAS rsvp's, actually 7 because yours includes both you and William.
so please keep us posted about who should come. I am not very good at
collimating, but I can advise someone about the different models of
telescope. also I usually bring my books and can talk to people about
what they can look at after they get the telescope working.

Good morning PAS Members who like to help out at the Telescope Workshops...
This Sunday we have quite a few RSVP's.

And as usual, watch the above link to know who is attending and with what scope, and for what reason.
I will be updating this list while collecting the Agenda for tonight's meeting, so I would suggest that on Sunday morning, if you see 4+ people needing help, you might want to consider attending this event.
I suggested to William (my hubby who is on the list) to bring his scope this Sunday, and we want to be early if possible, however, we have a plumber coming to fix a water stream coming from my shower head that i can't turn off.... but anyway, have him bring his scope, and try to get it collimated before the rest of the class gets there and then put his scope right back into the car to get it out of the way, so he can help with the group of attendees needing to know what scope to purchase.
We will do this format, for this class. Everyone gathers at the PAS Table. We should go over the options of what kind of scopes are available, and then branch off so that those with scopes get one on one help, or 2 on one, if we have enough help this time, and keep those who need advice on purchasing telescopes, at the PAS Table so we can take care of advice all at one time, and go over the info one time, rather than repeating it several times.
I appreciate everyone's help. Keep an eye on the list. Put in your RSVP if you are attending to help out.
Also, dinner after the event is not set at any location. If you plan to do dinner with the group, please think up some locations you'd like to attend, preferably nothing too expensive, so we can make a choice and i can call in an RSVP when we get done with the Workshop.
If you wish to do dinner with the group, and you are not attending the Workshop, drop me a phone text or email by 4:30pm so i can gather everyone's RSVP to call it in.
Have a spectacular weekend!
Hope to see you at the Telescope Workshop.
For those who don't know this: every time we have a telescope workshop you need to go visit the forum thread for that workshop date and see who is RSVP'd to know whether you are needed at that event or not. How do you find the forum thread? Go to the calendar, example for this Sunday would be to click on the telescope workshop, then find the link in the text within the calendar listing that goes to the forum thread and pop on over to read what has been listed. I usually try to get that list started by a week before the event date, and then just update it each day as new attendees ask to attend the event. The above link is the forum thread for this event, i provided it, but if you were to want to know the status of a telescope workshop, instead of asking me directly, go to the link and then monitor the link or check it the morning of the telescope workshop. If there are enough teachers listed for the number of attendees attending, then we are good. Or if there is an attendee needing specific info that you can provide or would like to provide, such as if you are skilled at working with a Go-to System, etc... then we can really use your help. Thank you all for being there! So, this Sunday morning, pop on over to the RSVP list and see if you are needed, or if you can help out in any way, before you make other Sunday plans.
Terri, Event Manager
