I agree - also, in general, that many people, particularly kids, may be
very hard to manage.

It takes about 1 hour for 100 people to look through one scope. With
2000 people it takes 10 scopes over a 2 hour period to let everyone see
just one object. If we want people to see 2 objects then we need 20
scopes if the event lasts 2 hours, or 10 scopes if the event lasts 4
hours. But most people don't want to spend that much time standing in
line to just see 2 objects. I just don't see it working with 2000
people. Sam

If they are inviting that many people...we need at least 4 scopes and 5
would be better. I am willing to do it.

Greetings,
I will pass on the event because of the distance.

It is 94% hispanic, and 47% of them are classified as "english learners"
which means they do not speak english well and 89% of the parents do not
speak english. 100% of the pupils are on the free lunch program.

Star Tours Group Members,
I just got a request from a teacher who we have done events for in the
past. She was at Orangewood School but has moved South to a school that
is just below I-10 and West of I-17.
The address is :
<http://maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1C1CHMB_enUS358&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Alta+E.
+Butler+Elementary&fb=1&gl=us&hq=Alta+E.+Butler+Elementary&hnear=0x872b1
2ed50a179cb:0x8c69c7f8354a1bac,Phoenix,+AZ&cid=0,0,15787706889448206402&
sa=X&ei=LfnuUaLqF-SUiAKcyoCAAQ&ved=0CDUQrwswAA>
3843 W Roosevelt St Phoenix, Arizona 85009
the school is Alta E. Butler Elementary
What I want to know is, do we have anyone interested in doing this
school event ($25/scope + food & drink),
or do we know something about this school that would limit our
availability.. such as mostly Spanish speaking people, in which case I
would will ask the school for a translator to be at the event for us, or
maybe too low
of an income area, that they may not be careful with our equipment. Any
input? Should I book it?
And can you do it on Friday Nov 15?
Orange wood also asked us to return on Thursday Nov 14. I will get that
one set up as they took good care of us last year. I"d love to do that
one again. And right now,
we have a MOM"s on that date, but we can cancel /
move that MOM to another day if needed. Nov 14.
So, for this email, just let me know if you can do this
event on the 15th and if you are willing to. I realize it is
quite a drive down just below I-10. If 2 scopes say they can do it, I
will book it, otherwise I will find an excuse
not to do it.
Let me know your input on this, before I make it happen.
I will give you until Friday to respond. Noon Friday is the deadline.
Thanks for your input.
Have a super day!
