Start time is generally 10:00 am. There's also 2 basic sessions. During the day with displays and booths inside while scopes are set up outside, (AKA "Scopes On A Spit), and at night from ~7:00 pm until 9:30 or so. I'll be on the square, roasting all day, showing the sun during the day in the 8" SCT and at night with the 20". Mike already knows this, as did Chris, (but he forgets things.) ;-) Steve Dodder Chairman, SAC Novice Group Coordinator, Grand Canyon Star Party, North Rim Director, Stone Haven Observatory fester00@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.stonehavenobservatory.com From: chris.hanrahan@xxxxxxx To: sac-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sac-forum] Re: Volunteers?

I don’t have a set “start” time for the ASC event but will inquire and report back.

Would there be time to do both? ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Hanrahan To: sac-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 5:54 PM Subject: [sac-forum] Volunteers? Astronomy Day - May 7th at Arizona Science Center... All: Mike George and I have been e-mailing back and forth regarding the upcoming Astronomy Day events at the ASC. Mike is asking the following questions: 1) How many folks do we anticipate volunteering for this event? 2) Will we need any tables, power, etc. for setting up displays? 3) Is there anything else we would need? Gene, will you be in attendance? If so, are you bringing the SAC display board? If not, I can arrange to pick it up from you. If no one is going to be at the SAC table, I will make sure to hang out there. Otherwise I plan to be Scopin’ on the Square with the PST. Any other takers? Chris
