Board, the following was emailed to my President=E2=80=99s mail box on =
our GoDaddy server and I wanted to pass it to you. This needs rapid =
consideration by the board=E2=80=94before our next general meeting. I =
don=E2=80=99t think we need to call a board meeting to decide on it as I =
think that can be done here as all active board members (and those =
interested in the club=E2=80=99s operation) are already on the email =
list. (Mitch, if you get TWO copies of this note, it is because you are =
already on the Board distribution list. If you only get ONE copy, let =
me know so I can have Paul Dixon set you up as a member on the list.)

Please look this over and make comments to me via a general reply so all =
can see it. I for one would like to see us try to do this weekend trip =
in September (October at the very latest). What say you?
=20
I am thinking of a one-day up/and/back trip so no overnights are needed =
(unless some folks wanted to for some reason), thus keeping our costs =
down to a reasonable level.

Dear Margie and Dick,
=20
Kim Westcott in Lowell's DCT office mentioned your interest in the club =
touring the DCT. The timing is great in the sense that we have just =
launched a new program specifically designed for members of amateur =
astronomy clubs across the country. Attached is a pdf describing the =
options. =20
=20
Over 80,000 visitors come to Lowell each year to tour our campus, but =
there is much more to see than we can possibly cover in a brief visit. =
I invite your club to visit and participate in your own =
=E2=80=98exploration=E2=80=99 tour, designed specifically around your =
club=E2=80=99s interests. You=E2=80=99ll have an opportunity to see our =
research telescopes with one of our astronomers, see our instrument lab =
where the cameras and equipment for the telescopes are made, spend a =
night observing on Percival Lowell=E2=80=99s 24-inch Clark refractor, or =
see the telescope of the future =E2=80=93 our 4.3-meter Discovery =
Channel Telescope now nearing completion.
=20
I encourage you to look through our tour descriptions and call me at =
928-233-3267 or email at tweedr@xxxxxxxxxx, if you have any questions; =
we are happy to provide references of amateur astronomers that are =
familiar with our programs and facilities. I look forward to personally =
welcoming your club to Lowell Observatory.
